Long story short.
Born next to the farm in Iowa
I was picked on as a kid because my clothes were not right.
I am adhd and the other one were t can be d when you read.
That year in third grade I started wrestling.
8 grade I was taking boxing lessons
Lost state wrestling championship in high school to my own team member because of my confidence issue.
My boxing coach was a Christian and a martial instructor so I pursued that.




Love working on the farm and making side money trapping gopher in the summer.
Winter time I only new muskrats.
Nebraska had a good bounty on yotes in 70’s
Did as much adc trapping as I could of a old 73? Honda z 50

Then came back the jocks after graduating aka legyage was 18

Collect the respect that is due to every person around you.
Next year I hooked up with an Irish friend after we almost beat the coal out of each other.
We asked each other “ is that big guy kicking on some one smaller “ Never did 2 on one unless it was two one one of us. lol
We always asked the perpetrators what was there intentions. Thanks

I miss them day as I get old.
It was kind of a thing for the lesser
Got cray one night to see a girl that I dated.
Drove Omaha to CA in my beat fo snot dodge W100

Didn’t work out with that girl because she liked drugs and the house party thing

Shortly after I moved into a condo that my wife lived next to.
I meet her fixing the grill in the courtyard so I could cook some meat.

Had three boys
Live in paradise
Had a miracle baby that was given grace
The grace of God is good.

I still work WCO.
If you are good
Don’t charge by the animal.


Today is a gift, that is why it is called the present

Ohio
I was born in 1964. Grew up in a mill town on the Mississippi River Sartell Mn. I was a stubborn child. At 5 yrs old I new it all. I had wonder lust in my blood. Hunting fishing and trapping was me. I was the kid in school looking out the window wondering if the fish where biting, ducks where flying or what I had in my traps. I was going to be a mountain man. At 19 years old I left for college in Ely Mn. Got a degree in Park and Recreation management. Was an Urban Forester/ Park Manager for 10yrs. Then worked for Mn Trapline Products(Tim and Nancy Caven) for 10 yrs. Charlie Dobbins inspired me to become a trap modification guy. That started a wonderful career from 1994 to 2002. Met my Love of my life on line. When on line dating wasn’t cool yet. Moved to Ohio. Started an Environmental Service Career in Health Care for the past 21yrs. From Addiction, Long Term Care , Now AL/ IL Memory Care Communities. Ready to pull the pin on that. Started my on Recycling/ Antiquities Business. Wouldn’t change nothing. Has been a great journey

No second, it was all muscle and determination.
I still to this day do not like someone who is special being put down.
I don’t like when someone treats someone bad at the counter.
I use my voice to tell them they are better then the,,,

I try to be a encouragement

Focus on what God gives you
