I am a 59 year old married man, going on 42 years to my High School Sweetheart Kathie. i Love babysitting grandkids and writing poetry and short stories, and putting them in the action. I am a retired Law Enforcement Officer from the Tampa Bay, Florida area. I have two grown children, Amy 33 and Roger 41 and 3 grandsons from 5 to 18 years old. I am an avid Biker but with a purpose!
I love playing the guitar and writing my own music. I am on the board of directors of a local charity called 'Born Again To Ride.' We take our motorcycles into jails and prisons all over the country taking athletes and entertainers with us to bring a message of hope to the inmates. My Favorite saying is 'As a man thinks in his heart, SO IS HE! ' Also 'Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.' A third would be: Life is short. Death is sure! Sin's the cause. Christ's the cure! I have 12 Tattoos on my arms
all based on Biblical Scriptures which I call my sermon notes! I have Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy,
and Macular Degeneration, so I am going blind rapidly.
In the meadow of the valley,
Where wild flowers are roaming free.
There are multitudes of colors
And their backdropp forest greens.
...
Behind every clown is a sad man.
Beneath every smile there are tears.
In front of all women there are stop signs.
In the heart of all hero's are fears.

I went through the drive thru
Of a local Taco Bell,
After an especially hectic
Law Enforcement night!
...
A promise of tomorrow.
A namesake shining through.
A bloodline that continues on,
Through eternal springs of youth.
...
How can I show my love for friends?
I’ll cook up something grand and then,
I’ll add some sugar right from my heart,
To sweeten it so it’s not to tart.
