History

Childhood

Eldest of five boys and three girls who grew up in poverty living in a 2 bedroom apartment. Grew up with very little supervision, as my family was so large. My father always worked three minimum wage jobs, and my mother couldn't keep up with all of the kids -- so I pretty much grew up on the streets. Got into a lot of trouble with the law as a kid. I always had a job of some type as a kid from paper routes to washing dishes.

Education

I was a D/F student until expelled at 16.

Military Service

Got into trouble with the law at 16, and the judged made me the standard (during Viet Nam) offer that I couldn't refused to enlist within 10 days of turning 17, or do time in a Juvenile Home. I took him up on the offer and was in Basic Training with the USAF 4 days after turning 17. I spent three years active duty driving trucks, and traded my last year active for two years Active Reserves to teach others to drive a truck. I'm a service connected disabled Veteran, and spent the next ten years going to college in the evenings under the GI Bill.

Employment Career

after I completed my military service, I (in order) drove taxi, Tractor-trailer, and dump truck; laid black top, roofed, and repo'd vacuum cleaners; was a bill collector, a carpet cleaning salesman, and a draftsman; a postage equipment repairman, a mailroom equipment salesman, and a computer repairman; a computer salesman, Executive VP of two large collection agencies, and owned a collections agency; owned a distress debt buying business, a software company, and a web hosting company; owned an race engine building company, and I now design web sites.

Favorite Quote

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.

Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage.
