Hello world. This is my bio. When I was born I was very young. That sounds like an old Three Stooges gag. Actually, I was born a few years before rock pioneer Buddy Holly died in a plane crash in a field near Clear Lake, Iowa. Major events set a time and place for most of us. I grew up in Detroit, MI, home of the Big Three automakers and Motown Records. Joined the army out of high school. Afterward, I entered college, dropped out after three years, went back into the military, spent four years, got out again, and finished college with a degree in journalism. I worked as a journalist, entertainment and business editor and managing editor, with side trips into freelance writing and book editing. I got out of journalism and became an over-the-road truck driver - owner/operator. During my trucking career, I have been to every state in the U.S. with the exception of Hawaii and Alaska. I don't drive a truck anymore and have developed a myriad of other intrests.
