: About Me

I'm 46, divorced, living near Norman, Oklahoma. I have 5 years of college with a 3.8 average. My major was in marketing, but it was always my goal to have a well-rounded education. I've led a very full life. My work experience has been extremely varied: kitchen manager for a burgers & nachos restaurant in Oklahoma City, oilfield information salesman, industrial maintenance products salesman, shopper paper ad salesman, sales manager, and then publisher.

What I will write will, at its best, come directly out of my experiences as a dreamer & idealist that matures into a man of knowledge and discernment.
