During my life, I've lived in several parts of the country. And now, since the beginning of 1990, live in southwest Florida, where I seem to have settled down. I live in a Republican stronghold with Connie, three dogs, and occasionally two grandchildren. All of them have found a special place in my heart.

I enjoy exploring my imagination, and the imaginations of others. That was a reason I started Beyond Dimensions in 1999. That was also the year I turned 50, and also the year I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. By New year's Eve, I was at home recovering from surgery to remove a kidney. I guess it is true you start to fall apart at 50. :-) By the end of 2000, I had met Connie, and fallen in love.

My tastes and curiosities are very eclectic. I can enjoy almost anything, and will try almost anything. I take pleasure in learning, and continue to investigate and attempt new things. I like to be able to laugh at myself, and not take life, or myself, too seriously. Life still continually surprises me. And that surprise has always sustained my respect for life in all forms throughout my life.

My politics are to the left of the spectrum as it is understood here. At my job, and where I live, I'm up to my eyeballs with right-wing believers. I use the word believers, because to most of them, the extreme right-wing gospel is their religious touchstone, no matter what their religious affiliation is. So there is much opportunity for discussion.

I started keeping a history for my grandson in 2000, composed of newspaper articles, reports, magazine articles, etc., anything I could find on the internet. At that time, America's decline became a lot steeper, and the bright future Americans envisioned, quickly turned into a nightmare. I wanted my grandson to be able to read what happened as it was being written about then, not just in the history books written by whoever wins. Hopefully, he'll be able to make up his own mind, and not be a parrot for the words of others.

It was from this history that the Guerrilla Campaign evolved. I realized that I could not sit idly by and watch the destruction of the future of my grandchildren. (My grandaughter was born in 2004). And by extension, this includes all the children around the world. It saddens me to see what we are doing to them, and the future, and the future of their children. With the potential to improve the lives of people worldwide laying there waiting to be used, instead, the world's elite have obscenely chosen to ignore the plight and the fate on whose shoulders their wealth ultimately rests. Seeing the possibility right there, it becomes frustrating at times that we can't seem to quite realize it. And so I add my single voice to the countless others.

Through my life, I've learned many lessons, some of the most important ones I've learned from my friends.

And one of those is that Life goes on.

And looking back on my life and seeing where I've been; the mistakes, triumphs, sorrows, joys, adventures, all the things that my life has been made from; I'd have to say I'm glad that I didn't miss the adventure my life has been so far.

If you're interested, this is what I look like now
