About Me

A self-published author of fiction novels.

Financial decisions in my life provided me the ability to take an extended leave from my full-time job and for several years become a 24/7, live-in caregiver for a parent with Dementia and other medical needs.  Working together with my brother we formed a financial budget for our mom so that our mom was able to remain in her home after our father passed unexpectedly.  It is that knowledge and experience  which forms the foundation in which I enjoy sharing with clients.

I enjoy reading on a wide variety of novels in areas such as politics and exploration of the human condition from different perspectives.  I am also an avid reader of various fiction based novels in both the fantasy and science fiction genre.

I have been a long time player and game master of  RPG's since 1978, starting with early versions of Dungeons and Dragons versions published in the '70s.

I believe how we treat both our veterans who sacrificed much and our pets, shows who we are as people.

Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea is a medical condition causing individuals to stop breathing during sleep. The level of severity can range from mild to extreme. Approximately two four percent of men are affected while women range from one to two percent. The two types of sleep apnea are obstructive and central. In the simplest terms, that way I have described the daily effect of sleep apnea to others is like a form of drunkenness.
