I was raised on a farm in Southern Michigan with my mother and father, two brothers and a sister, a dog named Bimbo and a pony named Toby.

I have had a very wide ranging work life since being the midnight shift dishwasher at the local truck stop on the weekends at the age of 13. Since then a few highlights are:

Bicycle Messenger in San Francisco

Professional Musician & Professional live music production

Registered Nurse (Mostly Critical Care-CCU, ICU, Open heart Unit, ER, Dialysis, Psychiatric care)

Grill Operator at Waffle House

Disaster relief debris removal

College Instructor

Currently a Property manager

I have lived in: Michigan (Hartland, Detroit, Iron Mountain), Montana (Emigrant south of Livingston and north of Yellowstone), California (San Francisco), Nevada (Las Vegas), Colorado (Boulder, Colorado Springs), Florida (Clearwater, Safety Harbor, Tampa), Louisiana (Lafayette),

The book I am writing is my Bio. I plan to present it in chapters. Each chapter describes real events in my life, or sometimes simply my point of view about how things are in this life and why things are so screwed up.
