Motto: Live life live. I am a son, husband, father, brother, friend and proud to call myself an American. Have camped in 46 of the lower 48 states, parts of Canada, Mexico, much of the Caribbean and Central America, Europe several times. Upon reaching the youthful age of 40, my wife informed me we were going to be parents, a humbling wonderful experience, trying to raise 2 boys better than my wife and I were raised. Not an easy feat, the shoes to fill are immense. Fortunately, we both still have our parents, who relish seeing the frustrations we had instilled upon them, now heaped upon us. It's nice to have the luxury to apologize for being such brats and getting the knowing looks from them saying "payback."
