Born to 2 Michigan State Spartans 50+ years ago. Traveled by Horse and Buggy across the land till we reached the desert city of Phoenix Arizona. Managed to secure housing on the furthest street east of town up against the Pima Indian Reservation (Scottsdale). Grew up for the next 10 years barefoot on the hot Arizona pavement. Managed to borrow a bike now and again and played some little league baseball using a glove from the early 1900's. Of course my mom and dad divorced and i was left to fend for myself, (with mom's help). She remarried the most eligible bachelor in the city, (She was a beautiful Woman) who took me and my brother and sister in like his own. We moved to the center of the city because he was one who made good money as an attorney. When I realized that money wasn't everything, i started a quest in my heart to find real love and truth. Some people called me a rebel. I called myself "normal". I ran away at 14 and after calling home, was sent to an all boys Catholic school in Colorado. Spending four years there finding out all about the Rocky Mountain High and skiing a lot, I somehow graduated and trekked back to AZ and walked on to the ASU football team. You probably guessed it. After leaving Colorado with an insatiable desire to party, Arizona State was defiantly not the place to slow down. (Da) Spent 3 years there till I finally ran out of pizzaz and gave up on school and playing sports. (Kinda) Moved on to Dallas then California in search of that love and truth I mentioned earlier. My search ended and restarted as I accepted Jesus as my Savior. Ended because I found what I was looking for started because I had to now start changing all the negative patterns I had developed and replace them with positive productive and life giving ones. Now In search of the Wife and love of my life, I found her. A Valley Girl. We ended up moving up to Idaho and we have 5 kids. My wife then left me......
