"Born in northern MN but raised in San Diego as the son of a Navy fighter pilot; one of 6 kids. We didn't have much but we had fun, family, and faith. Left CA for DC as a junior in high school due to father being transferred to Pentagon. Attended US Naval Academy '71 and Naval Postgraduate School '73 and finished military service in USMC at duty stations in Okinawa and Bremerton WA. Golfer since 2nd grade and grew up at San Diego CC where Dad was a military member. Notables in golf we met there were Billy Casper and Mickey Wright. After military service moved to the DFW metroplex and have lived here ever since. While in CA said the one place I couldn't live was TX due to all of them being full of themselves but once I moved here I found they were the salt of the earth; friendliest people one could hope to find and you couldn't move me out of the state now for anything. Married later in life and with my wife we were able to travel across all 50 states, most of Europe, Mexico, and the Caribbean area. Main hobbies were riding my motorcycles (BMW R1200C was my favorite) that included Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, and Norton Commando 850. My dream was always to be a Broadway song and dance man and except for looks, talent, a sense of rhythm, and a good voice I almost made it Went into business with my brother, my best friend, and we were manufacturers' representatives covering TX, OK, AR, and LA. Married into a ready made family that now includes grandchildren and great grandchildren. Love them all except for Kelly (pain in the keister). Still haven't outgrown always taking a shot at those I am close to. Hope to write at least 10 books by the end of 2026 as I am on #4 already. All straight fiction. My style is not trying to write the great American novel but telling a good story that tries to accentuate the positive values that seem to be failing around the world at the current time. Have been a member of a small country club since late 70's and have quite a number of good friends such that my wife can play to her heart's desire bridge, canasta, and mahjong. One finds pretty quickly that friends mean much more than 'things' in the later stages of life. Currently my passion is karaoke (usually in my bedroom alone at the request of my audiences). I have been blessed through life and hope to be able to share some of my crazy ideas with all of you."

And so you have.

No matter what it is or who commenced it, I'm against it!
