I am the father of 4 boys and 1 girl. I am earning my A.S. in Engineering and Psychology, as well as, an A.A. in Foreign Languages. I intend to go for Doctorates eventually.

I have them next to my stairs, so I don't forget to stop and smell them when in bloom.:)

My passion is ...

I know too much about ...

my own demise

My parents always told me ...

everything

My first job ...

was landscaping cactus

My best moment ...

birth of my children

My inspiration ...

my wife
