I’m a native of Alabama. I spent my childhood in the country, playing in the streams, woods and fields. My childhood upbringing was good. I did learn work ethics as I had chores and responsibilities as I grew older. I married in my early 20’s and started a career on tugboats. After about 16 years, my wife had an opportunity arise in a major city in Texas. We lived there for approximately 15 years, where the first 10 years, I was employed with a small remanufacturing company. The last 5 years, I was employed with a major medical research and development company. During this time I had the opportunity to connect with people from all around the world. Some I keep in contact to this day. We decided, one afternoon on our way home from work to exit the city life and move back to the country. Going on 4 years now, I have found the pleasure of slowing down some and enjoying the better things in life in which a city cannot offer.
