Galesburg, Illinois

Who am I ? It all started in a small town in Louisiana, I arrived into the world as a healthy baby boy "to the chagrin of my parents, they wanted a girl" and my life bagan. I have since that time grown into an adult, I didn't want to but was forced by time. I am looking for a way to go back and hopefully technology will assist me in the future, once a time machine is succesfully created.

I lived in many places growing up these include: Monroe, Ruston, Denham Springs, Louisiana; Thomasville, Alabama; Jesup, Georgia; Plymouth, North Carolina; Chester, Virginia; Ticonderoga, New York; Texarkana, Corpus Christi, Texas; Glendive, Montana; Greeneville,Tennessee; Galesburg,Illinois.

I consider Greeneville,Tennessee to be my home, but I am currently living in Galesburg,IL.

I spent my early years working on the road in Industrial construction, then thirteen years at John Deere. I have spent the last five years working on great big toys. I am a locomotive electrician for the BNSF railroad. The locomotives arrive in Galesburg broken and I figure out why and fix them. Its actually quite fun, and I am paid to do it.

I graduated from school and married my high school sweetheart, we had a son in 1991. We decided to go our seperate ways, I remarried and we had a son in 2003. I also have three grown daughters from my wifes first marriage that I adopted.

I am also a major football nut. I like the New Orleans Saints and the LSU Tigers. College football is my number one sport and I take it personally when my LSU Tigers lose. Its good that they seldom lose these days.

I also have been a Nascar fan my entire life and I have pulled for Tony Stewart since 1999.

There you go, my life in a small nut shell.

I like to write as a way to express myself, so in my poetry you will learn more about me than what is written here. I am writing my first novel. It is set in a small rural town in the Smokey Mountains of Eastern Tennessee, a young boy has the ability to move between dimensions, because of this he is trying to understand why his father is a good man in his life but a killer in another.

If you have any questions just drop me a line.

Thanks for taking time out of your life to read my small bio.
