: About Me

I am a very private and shy man masquerading as an outgoing confident person. I am learning to find my voice and it has taken sometime. Dyslexia has been my curse and my blessing. When it comes to reading and writing it takes me a bit longer than most to get there. I have a beautiful wife and great children, or maybe I should say we have each other.

My passion is ...

Individual liberties and personal rights; I do not believe that democracy was ever intended to become a subtle form of mob rule.

I know too much about ...

Nothing! I want to explore.

My parents always told me ...

My first job ...

I was a morning paperboy for the San Jose Mercury News and a box boy for W.T. Grants.

My inspiration ...

A smile from a loved one

Every one of us has a personalized clock with many of the traits of a good employee, but at some minute-hand positions, we have traits of the terrible employee as well. I have listed the primary 60 good and 60 t...
