I have slapped the devil and cursed the divinity. The divinity had a plan for me and now I know my mission statement in life.I spent half my life with the U.S. Army and the Federal Government going places and doing things that haunt me at times to this day.

I was gifted with more brains than brawn and am grateful for all the blessings in my life today.

For over 20 years I lived like a Nomad living out of a duffel bag and under a shady veil.

I am held together with bailing wire, 132 staples, half of one lung gone, 5 broken noses, 6 concussions, numerous broken bones, and many bullet holes in my soul.

Why I'm not dead yet is only an answer that the divinity can provide. I tried, never by my own hand but by the enemies I have encountered and the booze and pills I use to swallow (suicide on the installment plan)

I never wanted to be an author or speaker although I greatly enjoy it.

I accept that this is my instrument in this life that I must play.

Buy my books,

Read my blogs,

Ask questions,

I live because others died for me

As my friend Bill says “I have had my day in the sun”.

I have been featured in Time Magazine for my work in Africa, USA Today, CNN, The New York Times and too many others to mention.

I am at peace with the universe and am grateful to my wife and many friends who have seen me plunge from the heavens to the gates of hell and back again.

I love you and there is not a damn thing you can do about it! so HA!

Thank you for looking into my world from my "lens" I am forever blessed with more abundance than I may ever need.
