- Bio
- Where do you start with something like this. I'm your typical white male. I'm married, for the third time. I have 9 kids and 4 grandchildren.
Currently I'm an OTR truck driver. I've been doing it for the past year and a half, but I've had several careers. This one is just the latest.
In the past I've tried selling cars. That didn't last long. I should say it didn't take me very long to figure out that I'm to honest to sell cars.
I've spent lots of years in the restaurant business. Most of that was in the pizza business either as a manager for other or for myself.
I also spent 8 years in the Air Force working in ER's and flying Aeromedical Evacuation. I have to say, the biggest mistake I've ever made was getting out.
Anything else you want to know, just ask. I'll tell you.

What IS allowed in your food - Take the quiz

What's up with the word UP?
Lovers of the English language might enjoy this. It is yet another
example of why people learning English have trouble with the
language. Learning the nuances of English makes it a
difficult language. (But then, that's probably true of many
languages.)
There is a two-letter word in… Read full post »

The one thing you don't have to worry about when you come here is saying something and nobody knows what you are talking about. Everyone here is well informed about current events. We may not agree about them, but we know the issues and can discuss them.
