: About Me

My background is quite varied and diverse. I attended a private college prep boarding school with president's and senator's sons and later sold frozen meat door-to-door on the streets of Chicago. I spent three years at Northwestern University and later drove a cab on and off for 5 years.

My writing has mostly been corporate, as an instructional designer for a Fortune 100 company. I have had poetry published in 2 magazines years ago and once hosted a local radio talk show.

I was married with 3 children by the time I finally finished my degree in economics, made possible as part of a mutual separation agreement between myself and my first wife.

I have tried my hand at selling insurance, vending machines, the aforementioned meats and solar-powered water heaters.

I have dabbled in stand-up comedy, bodybuilding, creative writing, community activism and photography.

I am currently married to the most spirited woman in the world who is homeschooling my youngest child, my 11-year old son. She is on a personal journey to walk again after using a wheelchair the last 18 years due to a car accident.

One of the first clues is because of a lack of what is known as pressure release. Pressure release is evidence in a track which shows the force and direction with which the animal was moving. Most fake Big Foot tracks lack any evidence of lateral movement or acceleration because they a simply made by large men with Big Foot molds strapped to their feet. Pressure releases are the differences made in animal tracks based on changes in gait, balance and mov...
