Welcome. I spent my childhood in a small town on the outer edge of the Atlanta metropolitan area. The youngest of two children in a close family surrounded by cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and great aunts and uncles. I sometimes survived and sometimes thrived through 12 years of public school and then went on to 12 more years of college, all in Georgia. I married my high school sweetheart and am now happily married for over 24 years. My wife and I have raised two children. I have lived in rural areas, small towns, and a large city, in three different states and have visited six different countries spread over three continents. I have been employed by eleven different companies, starting work on my 15th birthday and working continuously since. These experiences have equipped me with a vast set of experience that influence my thoughts and I think a lot.  I have created this page as a creative outlet. I hope, if anyone ends up reading this blog, they get some joy and insight from the product of those thoughts.
