I was born in Eugene, Oregon, and my parents moved us to Texas when I was two years old. I met my wife in 1969, and we married in 1970. We have two daughters and three grandchildren. We have just had our forty fifth wedding anniversary. I've worked thirty years the food industry and the last eighteen years as a distributor. I am retired now and doing what I've always wanted to do: write! The average person knows what it's like to have a dream, but because of work and making a living to support one's family, never sees that dream come true. I'm trying to make it come true.
