About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To search out all of the weirdness this world has to offer.

ABOUT ME

A bibliophile full of wanderlust.

I'm an extremely open book and not afraid to talk about anything in my past in any manner, aspect or facet. In fact, if someone were to ask me a question where I would either be ashamed or afraid to answer, then that questioner has my respect and their next meal paid for.

PHILOSOPHY

A year ago from now you wish you would have started yesterday.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Floating in a small boat in the middle of the Caribbean during hurricane season when a lightning strike happened directly overhead and a waterspout formed right behind us. I shouldn't be here typing this, so after that moment everything has been on borrowed time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a range of computer skills that I love to share or employ whenever they are needed.

I am also happy to read anyone's paper, manuscript, poetry, or short story and offer feedback if it is wanted.

Bahamas, Canada, Cuba, Japan, Mexico, Saint Kitts and Nevis
