I'm a 55 year old hick from Idaho Falls Idaho. I am also an impatient Chief's fan, who doesn't know if he will live to see another Lombardi trophy, but at the same time, I tend to be too optimistic. It must be a defense mechanism in my brain or something. I am a football nut, and try to survive the offseason by following NASCAR. Myself, a good friend, and my Son in Law, raced stock cars at some local dirt tracks for about 5 years, so I have interest in stock car racing.
I worked for 15 years managing a Cold Storage warehouse, and worked my butt off both physically and mentally, until I was working on a 500 lb. hydraulic lift, which lost pressure and landed on my leg, crushing my ankle. After 6 surgeries, I decided I could no longer spend 10 -12 hours on cold, hard concrete floors, and went back to college in my mid to late thirties. After a failed attempt at Mechanical Engineering (the math wasn't what is was in High School), I got a degree in Psychology and Criminal Justice.
I was a Probation Officer for about 5 years, and now work in the Mental Health field, trying to keep mentally ill adults in their homes and functioning in the community, instead of going to Prison or a Mental Institution. A challenging job.
I have been married to my present wife for 13 years, and was married previously for 19 years. I have 4 adult daughters, and 6 Grand Kids. Don't be fooled by the dog in the picture. "Sissy" is a trained killer, who responds to a secret death command that only her and I know! I am continuously picking up human limbs, dismembered cattle, etc. off of my yard!
