About Me

| | | | | | | | | | |

This is where you can learn a little more about me.

Basically I'm 60, 6'2", 225# divorced, Christian, health nut who loves life and is learning more about God and life every day.

I was born in Rome, GA and raised in Talladega, AL. Dad was a veterinarian and horseman. I graduated from Auburn University with a Bachelors of Architecture and stayed around Auburn as a contractor for several years until I married and got back into drafting and architecture. We had 3 sons approximately 2 years apart. All three are grown now. My wife wantd a divorce after they left home so after 18 months of separation that finally happened in July of 2001. I'm much happier now and hope she is too. I'm rebuilding my life now. God's been good to me all my life and I'm enjoying life more than ever now. I love to write poetry, invent things, ride horses, ride my Seedoo and boat, and communicate with others. One thing that really helped me with the divorce is a group called Beginning Experiences. There's a link to the local group on my links page.

Taking a break from work

What a job!

I'm a self-employed now, living and working out of my home in Talladega, AL about 45miles east of Birmingham, AL. My parents both died within a few years of each other after my divorce.
