			My Home Life
As I mentioned on my homepage I live in Rapid City South Dakota.  I was born in Rapid City and I spent most of my life living in Montana and South Dakota.  I also spent four years in California while serving in the Air Force.  I am an undergraduate studying in Environmental Science/Conservation Biology at Oglala Lakota College.  I am planning to graduate in the spring of 2008 with a Bachelor of Science.   After graduation, I would like to get a job as a conservation interpreter, an educator in a social setting rather than an institutional setting.  I enjoy environmental research and a connection with traditional knowledge as it pertains to the environment.  I have also spent two years at Black Hills State University in Spearfish majoring in Outdoor Recreational Education.  I have two brothers.  Leo is my twin brother and he is a Catholic Priest in eastern Montana.  His web page can be seen here. My younger brother, Lew, lives in Box Elder, just outside of Rapid City.  He is married to Sherry, and they have three children.  He likes to work on radios, and his radio shop home page can be seen here.  My mother passed away in 1984, and my dad lives in Hermosa, a small town about 20 miles south of Rapid City.       I have a 2 yr old mustang paint that I enjoy working with in my spare time.  I am hoping to start breaking him to ride the later part of next summer.  He is a great horse that I got from a mostly wild herd over the summer.  He is very smart and is a fast learner.  I would like to someday have a small ranch as a hobby raising horses and bison.      I enjoy anything outdoors and see time spent in the outdoors as true medicine.  I also enjoy photography, beading, drawing, water color painting, cooking, Pow wows, and caving.  A few favorite places that I visit regularly visit are Ft Meade Rec Area, Bear Butte, Harney Peak, The Badlands, and Wind Cave. Other places I enjoy are Yellowstone, Glacier Park, and White Sands. I like Indian tacos, Italian & Mexican Food, and pizza.  Values that I strive to incorporate into my daily life are respect for others and all things around me, compassion for other people, and honesty, courage and wisdom to be ethical and do what is right in everything I do.       The last book I read was “Natures Way” by Ed McGaa.  I am currently reading “Washaka, The Bear Dreamer” by Jamie Lee.  I enjoyed “Into the West” and the Wild America series with Marty Stouffer.      Some of my photography can be seen on BH Photo & Art.  Links to other areas of interest, see my favorite links.
