About ME

I was born into a missionary family.  My father and mother were missionaries and Bible translators in South America and I lived for a time in a grass hut with a dirt floor!  Access to the remote villages was by airplane so naturally I was interested in flying.  I became an Air Force pilot after college and served for 10 years.  I decided to not stay until retirement in part because I began to feel uncomfortable about the role the US was playing in the world.  It felt like we had become sort of self appointed "globocops."  I left the Air Force and began in business.  I had successes and failures and these days I work in sales and like it very much, in part because it gives me time to write, research and be involved in my local community which I feel is important if we truly want "government of the people, by the people and for the people."
