Personal Profile
My Profile
Thank you For Visiting My Page
I guess you would like to know a bit about me, what I stand for and what drives my desire to share what I can. I was born in Chattanooga Tennessee in 1957. My parents moved to Northern California soon after. I spent my early childhood in a small town in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Little league baseball and skiing were my favorite activities. I graduated sixth grade before being whisked off to Australia along with my two siblings. We are still not sure exactly why our parents decided to move to a far-away land, but they did have some gypsy blood flowing in their veins.
My Life in Australia
Gidday mate!
From Skiing to surfboards in 1969. Snow covered streets of the Sierras at Christmas was transformed into hot sunny skies in Bondi.
I completed schooling in Sydney and went on to start my own lawn mowing business. Eventually moved to Melbourne, married and brought up two fantastic kids.
In my early twenties my search was on for what life was about and where it was going to take me. It wasn’t long before I was introduced to the King of the universe. Jesus of Nazareth became part of my life.
Where am I now?
In 2018 I moved back to the US after a short trip to visit long lost family. The moment I landed in LA I knew I was home.
I decided to stay a while. Three years later, after living in California and working in hospitality I moved to the East and met the love of my life, Nancy. We were married in July of 2023 and now living in the Nashville area of Tennessee.
My Interests
My primary lifestyle interests are the outdoors. Four-wheel driving, camping, fishing, motor bike touring.
My most passionate interest though is studying and leaning the Word of God, the Bible. Hence my desire to write on this subject.
When I returned to my homeland in 2018 I bought a BMW touring bike and rode across the country, seeing many places I always wanted to visit, but more importantly visiting cousins I had not known since I was a child. Some of whom I am very close to now from California to the deep south.
My Values
A person’s values—and what they truly stand for—can sometimes be difficult to define. To me, however, there is an important distinction: either we believe in an established set of principles, such as the rule of law, or our convictions shift according to what suits us at a particular time or under particular circumstances.
I believe in natural law and biblical principles. These are absolutes. Like most people, I do not always live up to them, but wandering from them can lead to consequences we neither intended nor desired.
Although I generally hold a conservative point of view, I also recognize value in certain ideas that may not fit neatly within conventional conservatism. For example, I spent most of my life in Australia, where there is a national health-care system. Some American conservatives might regard such a system as a step toward socialism, but I disagree. In my view, a nation as prosperous as the United States should provide some form of national health-care support—even if it is simply a safety net for those who cannot afford medical insurance.
Not every issue in life can be placed neatly within a fixed ideological box. There are many gray areas in which principles must be thoughtfully applied, competing concerns carefully weighed, and differing ideas openly debated.
“There exists one true law, one right reason—conformable to nature, universal, immutable, eternal.” —Marcus Tullius Cicero, The Commonwealth
The Future
My passion to write has come to fruition. I will continue my biblical study and writing. This is going to include weekly bible story blogs, periodicals and books.
I am broadening my literary content to include a cultural aspect and that will include American culture, historical subjects and contemporary politics.
