: About Me

Welcome to my Helium Authors Page. I love writing for Helium, it is so much better than blogging. I get paid for doing what I love to do. Here's a little bio before you get into reading my published work.

I do have a Facebook page. My user ID is mrwrite2u@yahoo.com. That is also my email address. I have never rejected a friendship request, and I read every email that I get.

I was born in Culver City, California in the hospital where actor Jeff Chandler died. That's what my Dad says anyway.
I was born September 28th, 1961. That is the day before Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth's single season home run record. So, the Babe's homer record stood for one day in my lifetime.
I am left handed. I grew up wanting to be a baseball player. That dream fizzled. I did however run a successful baseball card store and promoted shows with many famous celebrity autograph guests.
I am divorced from my high school sweetheart. We had five children together. I am happily in a new relationship with the love of my life Terri. We will be married in August 2012.
I am a non-smoker, but not a smoking Nazi. I let my friends smoke around me.
I drink socially but moderately. I like margaritas,bloody Mary's, Jack n Coke, and beer with my pizza.  I am 100% straight, but if you're gay I promise not to hate on you.
I drive tours for my Mother's tour business. I am a handyman. I have about a dozen published magazine articles in various genre in addition to what you can read here on Helium.
I love to go to big league baseball games. I like fishing, but don't get out to do it as frequently as I would like. I love driving. I have driven in all 50 states and Canada. I have over a million miles experience (accident free).
I like Coca Cola, and I cannot stand Pepsi. My favorite food is a homegrown and vine ripened tomato. Never ever refrigerated. I like them washed, sliced, salt and peppered. Yum! If I am ever on death row, my last meal will be vine ripe tomatoes. I am pro-life. I feel that babies are the most precious of all God's gifts.

I can remain friends with people who do not share the same beliefs as me. I am a peaceful person, and I can agree to disagree without being violent about it. If you feel differently about something than I do (like Coke vs. Pepsi), you are welcome to try and convince me .

 Thank you for reading my work. Now go to the top of this page, find the articles tab and start reading.

It was a chilly morning that I led our tour group on a hike in the Oregon Forest. I cautioned them, when going hiking we must wear layers. We made our eye opener coffee stop at Foster reservoir, I was glad that I brought a heavy shirt to wear over my overalls. It was an over overall shirt. We made our lunch stop, picnic style, at Clear Lake. Lots-o-fishing going on here. Not much catching, but a lot of fishing. We enjoyed the view and the warmth of the sun at our picnic table. Clear lake is truly clear. You can see to the bottom. There is a forest of large trees that were submerged under t...
