"To think is easy. To act is hard. But the hardest thing in the world is to act in accordance with your thinking."
I am WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) - authentic and no games. I enjoy hiking, simple living, weight lifting, and charitable giving. Non-fiction reading and writing are just two of my passions. I also like painting with acrylics, creating traditional and digital collage art, visiting museums, and attending plays. I play soccer, volleyball, wallyball, racquetball and love going to football and baseball games to people watch as much as watch the game.

I like old movies (esp. To Kill a Mockingbird) and stimulating conversations where I am challenged to see other perspectives. I am also a published author of many articles in the technical field and have owned my own businesses for many years - a consulting practice and a pet care business - both very successful. However, my primary mission in life and business is to give back to help my community and donate time, talent, and resources to several local and national charitable organizations.
