About me.

I'm 55 with a lot of ideas. I'm a vet who has seen some up and downs. I spent 4yrs. in the U. S Army. I had my first surgery in 1990 and found it very difficult to work a full year due to medical issues. I have sever arthritis on SSI with a list of surgeries over the years. I consider myself as a musician, commercial driver, friend. Trust me, when I have it-you have it. So, now I'm calling you to lend me a hand up.

My backstory.

I've had my share of ups and downs. We all have had them, so I really don't have to tell You all mine. Today I tried to be the best person I can be. I have had more let downs than hand ups, but I suppose it's all in the Master's hands. I think more of myself as a Commercial Driver, musician, and inspiring entrepreneur.

Feel free to look at the news clip in the attachment. I'm pretty much that guy. Trying to remain humble and lined up to receive the blessing.

My goals, moving forward.

Music is my main hobby. I play a 6 string electric bass. I've been playing since I was 15. I took bass lessons at the Community Music Center (CMC) for half a year and I'm hoping to take lessons there again this fall!

Other things I'd like to share about myself.

Playing bass makes me happiest. I play jazz, a little funk, and am learning gospel. My goal is to play at my church, Grand Advent.

Here is a video of me playing bass:
