| Introduction | Used to work in the film industry, but things got a little tight, and I had kids to feed so I went into Construction. Didn't realize it , but I had trained with Frank Lloyd wright's master carpenter. I specialized in hillside houses, you know, the ones on the side of a cliff. Finally got into concrete and had a ball doing the highly technical foundations. Married to a great lady, have five grown children, two girls (step), one girl, two boys. Nine grandchildren (the best reward for not killin' my kids when I wanted to) and two on the way. Rumor has it that I'm one quarter Commanche (Texas roots) and didn't get the horse thief genes. Grandma and Grandpa apparently spent their lives "passing." That was the old days. Would love to retire but can't. Have written two books: "This Never Happened" about a white boy on an AZ reservation in the sixties who discovers what happened to the Anasazi, and "And Then...." about a raid across the AZ border by unknowns. Trying to finish "Pastiche," about a right-brain/left brain reality challenged artist who stumbles onto a Pacific Rim horizontal monopoly controlled by a criminal cartel. |
