My Introduction

    This photo includes me:

My brothers and nephew.

along with my brothers, and my nephew.  My brother David on the left works in transportation.  My brother William, center, is a Marine set to separate and return home.  Both have done service.  My nephew, Jacob, has grown so much since this picture was taken.  I think we just returned from hunting on the farm.  We did something on the farm that day.

    I was born in Wichita Falls, Texas.  My earliest memories come from Springtown, Texas.  Over in Parker County.  I can still remember the yard, the tree in the backyard, the house, the spider infested shed.  I also remember a dog house.  Andy was the name of my Mother's Cocker Spaniel.  One day, I was out playing and I heard and saw an airplane fly overhead.  I remember thinking, "It would be neat to see a jet".  

    In the summer of 1988 my parents moved to Fort Worth.  I still can "see" my parents and my brother loading objects into the moving truck.  I vaguely remember how a bunch of people came and helped us move into the house in Fort Worth.  We could hear, see, and watch the jets from our backyard.  We had two dogs: Bridgett and Brandy.  My dad did school.  My Mom taught.  She now teaches at Martin.

    In 1989 my father, who trained for aerospace, after being laid-off from the Oil and Gas industry.  We moved up to Everett, Washington, and on August 25th, 1989 I still can see the big moving trucks with all of our household goods.  My dad went to work for Boeing.  Now, he drives Grubhub and Uber.

    I also have two sisters.  Elizabeth and Meagan.  I have no pictures of them.  I will try and get a photograph of each of them.  They both have a family now.  

    While I grew up, we home schooled.  Because of being home schooled I developed many different interests.  Computers, History, films, music, World War II, Geography, computer games.  Also, I am a veteran.  I served in the United States Navy on active duty from 10MAR2003 until 21NOV2014.  While in San Diego, I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome.  I moved to Arlington to attend school.  I have taken classes at Tarrant County College (TCC) and University of Texas at Arlington (UTA).  I now work at Albertsons as a Courtesy Clerk and Sanitation Clerk.  I am a non-drilling reservist in the Navy.  Last but not least, I am a Christian.  After the COVID-19 and the election of Trump in 2020, I have taken a different view in life.  That is a wrap.  Please enjoy my blog.
