About Me
I work for a company that provides services for individuals with disabilities(MR, MI, BI, phys., etc.). I have a family of 5 w/ children 2 boys and 1 girl. The boys are nineteen and seven, the girl is twelve. One of my philosophies is that your net worth is not how much money you may have at any given time but more so in how many people will miss you when you are gone. I have many medical maladies that I refuse to let get the better of me. Morbid obesity, Type 2 diabetes, High BP, Osteo Arthritis, depression, asthma, a wound on my leg that will not heal, etc.
Interests
Family, friends, gardening, fishing, hunting, woodcrafts.
