About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life: family, friends, music, work, travel and make new friends.

ABOUT ME

61 years old, married twice with a blended family of 3 daughters and 1 son ranging in age from 25 to 33, none of whom live full time at home. 1 daughter is married with 2 kids and the rest are single. We are business owners and my wife Susan works part time in the business as well. I play guitar and we both are singers in a small vocal group. We enjoy folk, rock, blues, jazz, sacred and classical music. We are involved in the community and church.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe we have all been created for a unique purpose that only we can fulfill and that our mission in life is to find that purpose, to be all we can be and thus bring honour to our creator and love, joy and peace to our fellow travelers and ourselves.
