I grew up in a time and place where children were given responsibilities, an axe to split wood, often in the freezing cold, in snowstorms, every night for a burning stove.  From this to military service to where I'm at in my career, has been adventurous.  Today, I'm just a proud father of 2 handsome young men and have a lovely wife.  I wouldn't ask for more, but continuing to work hard to make progress in this amazing journey.
