This is me

This may be a little redundant but is me in a nutshell.

I am an unashamed child of God, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, who loves to pursue the things that are important to God. I am very much the family man who enjoys time with my wife, kids, and grandkids. I have only a handful of true close friends but those who are close to me are like family.

I am old school but appreciate the advances of technology and love to learn as much as I can. I still appreciate a face-to-face conversation over the impersonal text. I still believe and practice the Golden Rule. I value the ethics and standards of the military family I was brought up in and still do my best to adhere to how I was raised. I don’t necessarily believe in the notion that “you cannot teach an old dog new tricks”. I think it is admirable to keep learning and growing as we get older and to never give up on improving who we are and what we can accomplish. I may or may not have been known to be a serial entrepreneur during most of my adult life.

I love being outdoors and when outdoors I would prefer it be in the mountains or on a beautiful sandy beach but the blue bonnets of Texas hill country in Springtime are pretty nice too. I like to play a round of golf every now and then when I am not busy working with my family. I have been known to enjoy horseback riding occasionally, especially in the hills of Costa Rica.

I have made friends here and there and everywhere, but my closest and best friend wears a ring that I gave to her when I asked her to marry me a long time ago. No matter where I am at or what I am doing if I am holding her hand, then I feel happy and blessed for sure.
