About Me
Married for 37 years now to a wonderful woman. I love to read and write. I have one Published Novel, Dangerous Fare, and am working on 2 more at this time.
I have an extensive library of Science Fiction, Fiction, Fantasy and humor. I also have many gardening, home improvement, computer, auto and motorcycle books. I am a history buff and like to do a bit of woodworking. I build my own computers because I prefer to know what the quality of the components goes into them and prefer to be able to repair them with off the shelf parts. I am a decent country cook and love to grill and barbecue. I also love gardening and working around the yard.
I have worn many hats over the years, but the longest job I held was in the Chemical industry for 31.5 years before retirement. I love people and poetry.
I am a conservative with libertarian leanings, believe in freedom, small government, personal responsibility and helping those in need. A hand up not a handout is what people need. I hate what socialism and communism does to people and believe the less government interference in lives, the better. There, you have it. That is a capsule view of me. I am who I am and I'm happy with it.
