Welcome to my little piece of the internet. I've been online since February 1999. It's a place I can share my thoughts, ideas and opinions. If you want to know what is currently on my mind, you can check out my blog. You can find the link above.

The prior incarnation of the webpage was set up to display the pictures I took while traveling around the world in the Navy. I received many great comments, I appreciated them all. One of my pictures was even published in a book called "Navy Super Tankers" by Vern Bouwman. I found it doing a vain search of myself one day. I might even have to buy the book. If you viewed the pictures in the past and would like copies of them please contact me. I recently decided to put the Guam pictures back online. I still see some people have links to them. If you want to see my adventures on Guam click on this link: GUAM PICTURES.

For those who I haven't seen in years, I retired from the Navy in September 2001. Since then I've been working in Portland, Oregon as the Maintenance Supervisor at Northwest Pipe Company. I'm married with two great children. Now that I'm married I have a renewed respect for all my married friends in the Navy. It's hard to leave them for a short periods, I don't know how you guys did it for months at a time.

After a dozen years with XO Communications I decided to change my web host to InMotion Hosting. I picked them because of all the positive ratings I read and they seemed to offer the best bang for the buck. I think the main thing that got me to switch was XO would not upgrade their version of MySQL. I needed a newer version to take advantage of the new features in WordPress. One of the amazing things during the switch is XO only ask me once why I was switching, then they showed no concern. I seem to have everything switched over. The domain names seem to point to the correct areas and everything works. So if you see a bug, please email me and let me know.
