Since this is my first blog I figured I would use it to tell you a little about myself, my family and my businesses.

My Favorite Music:I am a big fan of audio books more than listing to music.

If music is my only option I would listen to country, classical, jazz, meditation, soft rock and spiritual books.

Kennedy, Aristotle, Leonardo Da Vinci, Winston Churchill, Spiderman & Superman LOL, King Arthur, Muhammad Ali, Diana - Princess of Wales, Mother Teresa, Rosa Parks, George Washington, and David Livingstone
My Family:
I have an amazing wife who is my best friend and truly sent from the heavens to put up with me and for me to find creative ways to make her feel on top of the world. My two oldest daughters live with my x wife and my youngest lives with me. My youngest is autistic and is truly an opportunity for me to find creative ways to support her and for me to learn patience. I adore my children and strive to be a good father while creating the space of friendship with all of them. My wife has been amazing since the first day I met her. She is smart, beautiful and I can honestly say is my soul mate and best friend. I could not imagine a more perfect person to be my wife. It is almost like god answered my dreams and gave me a queen. We have two dogs and have recently added two cats to our family, however we are chicken to let the dogs and cats out together. Come on you can’t tell me that you are not a little worried as well lol.
