The Internet changed my life - and in the process I have made many new friends, I'm privileged to have such great people visit my site and contact me.

As a web designer I studied HTML and looked at what others have constructed. As a webmaster I have admired many pages completed by others.

It's been a lot of fun learning and doing!

I know from my own experience there are no limits -- only the ones we set for ourselves. I know this Internet stuff can feel very intimidating - but trust me, no matter where you are now, you can make it work here. If I was able to do it, you can too!

Raised in eastern North Carolina, educated in North Carolina, the Navy and Milwaukee, I left my home and with only big dreams and no money in my pocket to join the Navy at age 19. It was a lonely journey -- I had no friends or family outside the Carolinas to turn to or help. So, in this world I went through many stages -- from boot camp near Chicago to running a small company in Milwaukee. But before I got what I wanted, I paid my dues doing many jobs: pumping gas, mopping floors, cleaning, and delivering newspapers.

I also paid my dues on the internet spending over 2,000 hours experimenting, networking, advising but above all learning and... making many mistakes. I still continue to invest a few hours each night reading and surfing new sites.

Lastly, every single day I listen to people around me, working and trying to succeed, each with special talents, problems and a great deal of humanity. I try to share my feelings and experences so that they can see, "we are alike in many ways." 
  
I sincerely hope that I can continue to find great ideas, examples of great friendship, love, wisdom and humanity, and share them with you, my friends.

In any case, I love sharing my thoughts and ideas with you through this site, as well as hearing from all of you who write or sign my guestbook.
