Well, I was born in the Village of Lake of the Woods, Minnesota. (On the Canada Border) I retired from the Military as of 1 July 2011 after 31 years of service. My passion is underwater photographs. I have logged over 2,500 dives. I have traveled all over this planet of ours. I also enjoy taking cruises. I am married to a beautiful Peruvian woman. We were married on 4 Aug 13 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
