<p>A life long member of the working class, Vietnam veteran, bookbinder, warehouseman, retail worker, and laborer with a passion for good times, laughter, old cars, cold beer, Nordic skiing, and nature.</p>
<p>I am most at home with the ordinary people of this world. The ones that interest me are the ones who have taken a few hard knocks in life and come up laughing. They are the ones who don't run from the rain, accepting that they are going to get wet and feel it's all a part of the journey; in other words the common clay that is the foundation of this world. These are the people I love and the ones I choose to write about. </p>
