| Introduction | Born on a farm in Mississippi, I moved with my family to NYC at five. My father worked for National Airlines so when school was out I was put on a plane to spend summers on the farm with my grandparents. So I don't know where I'm from. I blew the scholarship to Ole Miss and joined the army and at 21 I found myself as an Aircraft Commander in Viet Nam. I got the usual warm welcome home for the time and was lost for a couple of years. My father decided I needed to get found so he gave me an old beat up truck and a couple of small delivery accounts. I worked hard and built up a decent business, but the hours were killing me. One day a buddy told me about flying in the Gulf of Mexico, working seven on and seven days off, with a seven day vacation to boot. WOW. I was lucky to get seven days off a year. It was an interesting time flying out to oil rigs in the Gulf with nothing but a mag-compas and a watch. Later I was hired to sell Helicopters in Canada and the Caribbean. When I finally gave up Aviation I moved to Orlando. I wanted to try selling Real Estate which lead to my involvement in the internet and here I am still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. |
