| Introduction | I grew up with a toe in the water of many shores. 4 years of Air Force Security Forces w/ EST (S.W.A.T.), Contending Warrior (1 of 4 selected from hundreds), and a tour with NATO in 96-97. Then 4 years with the Army Nat'l Guard (Infantryman & Medic). While doing security work at a nuke base I met my first wife (we divorced after several years). We were blessed with a son and a daughter. I have developed an extensive and very eclectic network and I've specialized as a generalist, valuing the global view and the cross-pollination of ideas this has given me. I have my kids 1/2 time and I'm moving toward living in an intentional, sustainable, off-grid community. I've begun searching for a partner/wife who wishes to share an elegant life in harmony with natural laws and surrounded by like-minded loved ones. By simplifying and going deeper into relationships we can change the world! We must become the change we wish to see in the world (Ghandi). |
