About me

Gender Male
Occupation dirt lover, tree hugger, little league umpire
Location salt lake city, utah, United States
Introduction Born in Los Angeles, lived in Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Utah. I love everything about the Rocky Mountain region of the country from north to south; Native American and cowboy culture, the grandeur, peace, and solitude of our mountains and the stillness of the desert. My life is centered around my sweetheart, my eight children and the spouses they have brought into our family so far, our fourteen grandchildren, and my faith. I'm a four seasons kind of guy, finding beauty in each of them. T-shirts and jeans is my uniform. I love a good laugh with family or friends, a friendly exchange of ideas, or maybe even a debate, and good ice cream. I'm not a morning person, preferring the solitude of my home office until I emerge later in the day. My life is full, rich and so, so blessed. I seek to live each day in gratitude.

That can't really be a fish you're standing on, can it?

I sincerely hope it IS a big brown trout I just caught on top, but of course I would never stand on one. I'm a catch and release guy.
