I'm a transplant from Georgia, enjoying the seasons here in beautiful Michigan since 1983. My wife and I along with our teenage son recently moved to our new home in Allegan. It's a small town with great people and a laid back vibe - just the kind I like.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a certified graduate of the School of Hard Knocks. I think I've failed enough in life to be able to empathize with the under-achiever that lives within everyone. All seriousness aside, I'm nobody special, but I'm more than happy to pass along the few crumbs that I have learned. As of late I'm finding that I learn a lot more from others than I pass along to them.
