Hello all,

So it took me a few years to get around to this but here I am. What to write, about myself no less. Let's start by saying I was born and raised in the fine state of Iowa. I received a degree from Iowa State in Advertising Design back in 1979. From there I eventually made a career in the newspaper business doing layouts, drawings, charts and maps.

I've been happily married for 14 years and I am now residing in the St Louis, MO area where I enjoy gardening, taking pictures, cooking, reading, walking the dog and dabbling in Photoshop.
