Most of the banner photographs were taken by me. Thus far, if it was taken during the day, I took it. All of them were shot in California.
The below image of me was created by an acquaintance in the UAE. I rather like it, obviously :o)
I am Irish/English/German/Mexican/Apache (can you say MUTT?), 44, usually soft-spoken, strong, a survivor, a system administrator, a southpaw, an eternal student.
I have a BBA in accounting, a MS in database development, a hard shell, a soft heart, a big chest, facial hair that changes often, one mom, two dads, four sponsored kids.
I believe anything is possible when you can look past “what” somebody is and see “who” they are, no one is intrinsically superior to anyone else.
I wish everyone would care at least as much about others as they do about themselves, people could live and let live, parents would not turn their children into bigots.
