| Introduction | The older I get the more things I want to create, explore and learn about. I am continually amazed by the most basic and yet profound observations by my very wise and wonderful grand daughter. She sees "wonder and magic" in the simplest things. Her outlook on life and living is a constant example to me. At this point in my journey I realize just how much more there is left to do and so little time. Thus the name - "Revenant - (noun)a dead person believed to have come back as a ghost." Since there isn't enough time in this lifetime to get it all done, I plan on returning as the Revenant to continue working on things ... I don't like things left undone! |
| Interests | After retiring from an executive management position after 35 years I have been fortuante enough to retire from that career and begin a new one focusing on my passions (aside of course from my wife and grandaughter AVERY) of writing, Corvettes, and art. I also do consultations and marketing for Corvettes for potential buyers - "R/T CorvetteConsultants". Currently I'm working on a book on the C5 FRC and the development of a 1999/2000 Corvette Fixed Roof Coupe Registry. |

You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?
Why should I avoid it. Always choose the "by line". In years to come no one will care how much you were paid for a book or an article but they will remember who wrote it!!!
