Salutations esteemed contemporary,

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Kevin Porter and I was born a military child. Being the child of an ambitious father, who joined the United States Air Force on his seventeenth birthday, I came into this world as a vagabond.

I do sincerely hope you enjoy my writing style and that it infinitely entertains you.

With my best regards,
Kevin Porter
