: About Me

I was born in Chillicothe, the first capital of Ohio, and grew up in a little (Ohio)river city, Gallipolis. At the age of about fourteen, my parents divorced and my father and I moved in with his second wife, across the river to another small town, Pt. Pleasant, West Virginia. Maybe you've heard of the Mothman, he and I were classmates. Not many people know that he graduated from PPHS in 1977.
I spent a lot of time on the banks of the Ohio, mostly skipping school, graduated high school in WV., so I call my self a cross between a river rat and hill-billy. I say it proudly.
After a tumultuous relationship begun in high school, culminating in a four month marriage, I spent about two years in Marysville,OH., working in a factory. I met my second wife there, and together we moved to Florida(wher' da sunnnshine nearly ev'ry day-Muddy Waters) and there, spent the next eighteen years.
In the Sunshine State, I ripened. Beginning as a small lawn business, a friend and I were able grow into a small plant nursery. eventually we parted ways...more to come later, right now I'm out of time.
