Am retired from it all now and spend my time living the good life on my small ranch in Nor Cal.. With yearly sabaticals throughout Asia.. where I am sometimes known to deal in fine arts..

I have always stayed in shape for most of my life... so how did I end up here ? Well, it's a very long story but the long and the short of it is this.. I was a gasoline tanker driver for a major oil company for 28 years.. a number of years back.. a car drove under my trailer which forced the truck off the road and into a ditch..at 55mph.. The force broke my back and neck.. and as such facilitate a long rehab period.. Without the activity level my body was use to.. I went to around 230lbs.. was terribly out of shape.. and felt like death was knocking at the door..The long road back had many, many challenges that were not limited to the injuries themselves... but here we are now..
