I was born to financially challenged parents in Atlanta, Georgia. To put it in an historical perspective, I was born less than a decade after the end of World War II; I was a contemporary of Albert Einstein. I attended public school, graduating high school after three years, and joined the Navy at seventeen.

I was a hitch hiker for 15 solid years, traveling the highways and byways of these great United States. It was a time in which I learned much about human nature. But, in another sense, I was just going around in circles. One day, while watching TV, I saw the 30 year anniversary commercial: 'I'd like to buy the world a Coke'. (I recalled seeing the first airing.) I woke up just then, and asked myself where the last two decades had gone. Understandably, I have been under some pressure to 'catch up'.

Fourteen years of working in Missions and the Salvation Army gave me an opportunity to put into practice all I had learned of human nature out on the road of life. But now, out of work for the first time in years, my life seems empty. I do have the love of a wonderful woman, I have my studies which have so far produced two published E-books, and I have my first music CD floating around somewhere in cyberspace - but I find myself to be as financially challenged as my parents were half a century back.

I am investigating the possibility of actually earning a living off the internet. If I have any worth, it is that I have a unique perspective to offer; to open eyes to higher possibilities.
