Political Affiliation Conservative to the core! It is my belief that both parties are a huge part of the problems plaguing our great Nation. I see little difference between the Democratic and Republican parties. I am a registered Republican, a very old school Republican.

My Better Half
This is a photo of my lovely wife, Karmi, and I on our 25th Wedding Anniversary while we were in South Tahoe, California. Karmi is the absolute love of my life, she is my rock, and next to God I lean on her the most. One day I was driving down the street and saw the most beautiful girl on the sidewalk. I told my buddy, “I'm going to marry that girl!” And I did!
