I'm an ex-marine and Vietnam Veteran. I am also a former  V.I.S.T.A.. I spent three years in the Alaskan bush travelling to the 17 Inupiat Eskimo villages of the Brering Strait region of Alaska.  I was a career counselor for Eskimo youth from 16 to 27. I am a father of two and grandfather of five. I currently work as a case manager in the Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Recovery Center of a Veterans Administration hospital. I help Vets recover from their mental illnesses as I have successfully recovered  from my Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, And General Anxiety Disorder. I love to read. My interest span a broad spectrum. I am just starting to write. Never thought I really could but I'm going to give it a shot.
