This site is about me and my interests and how they could be of
interest and value to you.

Background:  My early life began in a small rural area in
Tennessee with me being the youngest of four boys (actually 18 years 3
months to the day younger than my youngest brother; 21 years 3 months
to the day younger than my next brother; and 23 years younger than my
oldest brother).  OK, if you get the drift I grew up
essentially as an only child.  My brothers were more like
uncles. As a result, I started off in life basically as a ’solo act’
having to do things for myself.  Luckily, God blessed me!; “I
didn’t fall off the back of the truck”.

Early Education:I continued through school (elementary and high
combined), played in the high school band, was a Tennessee ’state
senator’ for a day (4H Club), and probably would have been the
Salutatorian of my class…except that I had taken a typing class one
year (only two boys) and I wasn’t real good, comparatively. [However,
having taken the typing class and being able to type has paid off many
many times since!  Yes, I would take the typing class again.]

College: Went to college at the University of Tennessee and received a
B.S. Chemical Engineering which took me to my first job. (Backup- I met
my wonderful wife while co-op engineering one quarter (yes, they had
quarters then) and got married my senior year.)

Employment Thumbnail: Went to work with Procter and Gamble, Jackson, TN
out of college making Pringles’ Potato Chips and did the ‘P’ack up and
‘Go routine and ended up making Charmin bathroom tissue in Albany,GA.
(Incidently; I met Mr. Whipple, “Please don’t squeeze the Charmin” guy
while there. (Yes, I know he recently passed away.  He looked
just like the TV ads.))

From P&G, I job hopped to Nalco Chemical Company
(Pulp&Paper sales) to ProComp (Pulp&Paper Applications)
to Liquid Carbonic Carbon Dioxide Co (Carbon Dioxide Sales and
Applications Engineering) to Liquid’s buyer, Praxair, Inc. in 1996
(Business Development Manager in Water, Wastewater and
Pulp&Paper Applications).  Currently, unemployed due
to layoff.

Current Activity: I’m not employed; however… Fishing, Gardening,
Refinishing Furniture, Experimenting with all kinds of things, Learning
Things, Making Money, Having Fun, Helping Others, and Internet
Marketing take up most of my time.
