More than anything else I'm a family man. My wife of 22 years (and counting) and I, have nine children (and counting), who fill our lives with joy and constantly challenge us to be better. I'm eclectic with a wide range of interests, just try me! I am an active scouter in the Boy Scouts of America; a crazy Fox from Wood Badge course C5-311-11.I've built one, and designed two other straw bale homes constructed in the Cameron, MO area, let me know if you would like to see them, I'll arrange a tour. Life long learning is one of my avid pursuits, mostly through reading and talking with people, but I'm always open to new experiences and ideas. Oh, and I'm a Mormon, and I'd be happy to tell you more if you're interested.
