: About Me

I am a professionally licensed Commercial Driver, specifically licensed to pull a tank trailer containing hazardous materials on the public streets. I've driven many different vehicles, well over one million miles, since 1985. Before that I served four years in the United States Air Force as an Explosive Ordinance Disposal Specialist, stationed in Clearfield, Utah, and the Great Salt Lake Valley.

As a rigidly trained, licensed professional hazardous material handler for many years, and possessing an inclination to write on a wide range of topics, I felt inspired to share my point of view; a point of view I feel most people don't have.

My passion is ...

Writing & music, and machines, wheels turning smoothly.

I know too much about ...

politics ... Just a - - beauty contest anyway!

My parents always told me ...

Enjoy yourself but be careful, it's a big world out there.

My childhood ambition ...

Travel the world without a care.

My favorite memory ...

Why I write ...

To vent, to save my sanity, to change for the good!

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Mags/news,history,talk shows/variety of music & public radio

My first job ...

Flipping burgers.

My best moment ...

Has yet to occur...

My inspiration ...

The Bible.
