About the author: 

  I grew up like most other boys in a city of about 30,000 people in a suburb of a large metro area...   I'm 5'8" slim,  I move up and down in weight from 150 to 160, Brown hair with a little gray in it, Green eyes.Born in San Diego, CA. At Balboa Navy hospital, on the 2nd day of September 1958 .  My dad was in the Navy for 20+ yrs.  My mom was a very active person, mostly in the Church. I have 2 older half brothers and an older sister, yes I'm the baby.  We moved to the South Bay area of Los Angeles, "Carson" I was about a year old at the time.

    I went to a public school for Kindergarten and 1st grade (bow tie), Catholic school for four years (white shirt) they made me repeat the 1st grade.  This was the first set back for my young psyche.  Back to public school for 5th to 12th,
 
    I had to repeat the 7th grade (Yellow turtleneck), why did that happen,  it was for two reasons I was sick for all most three weeks and I was expelled for a week for throwing a book at a teacher, I was also not allowed back in her class.
 
In high school I  was quite the social type, part of the jocks (wrestling) in my freshman and sophomore year (Red shirt with mom and dad), I had to retire from that I kept getting hurt (broken arm and a chipped nee cap).   I was part of the nerd herd, (Chess club, Computer club {very new at the time}).  I was in to Drama, Choir and Dance. 
 
 
My first job was a Jack in the Box, it lasted almost 6 months

(I was burned badly by hot oil while cleaning a fryer)

 

 

 

I quit. 

I graduated High school in 1978 (brown coat). After High school  I work at the plant with my dad for about 2 weeks I liked the job but I had to make my own path.

 






 
     I joined the  Marines and took some college classes.  I loved the Marines I was able to grow and do things that none of my friends did. 
 
(in-between a light and a fan can  you figure out the Pictogram")
     I was married in 1981 to a women that I love and cared for very much I'm very happy that I did get married, I have two loving, intelligent, beautiful, thoughtful and wonderful daughters. I lift the Marines in 1993, I was very tiered of the new Corps it just wasn't fun any more.  
       I started my own business doing computer training and consulting. Work in sales for a large retailer of  electronic and appliances, in the computer department, I worked there for just over a year.  I was still doing training and consulting but I needed a job that would pay the bills so I went to work for a software firm as a Customer service rep / Systems analyst / Pubs writer, this job lasted about 7 months. 
      My ex-wife and I drifted apart and we separated and divorced in 1997.  I wish I would have been honest with my self and ex-wife, but we all make mistakes, it is part of life. I think it was also that a part of me was never really happy. 
     I'm a very monogamous type.  Some would say that I'm bi but,  I feel and know that I'm gay.  I can be aroused by a lot things,  I some times get turned on by the smallest things like, cooking (Shrimp stir fry does it every time),  walking in the woods,  seeing the sunset into the golden blue ocean or just a smelling face.  I think we can have sex with any one, but you need to have honesty, romance, and understand to have a loving and caring relationship and I have only found that with other men in my life even the straight ones.
