As an ER nurse of many years, I was searching for something to do before I retired that would continue to make money and allow my wife to be at home with me to enjoy retirement and still allow us to do the things we enjoy doing.

In December 2017 I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. After a total personal melt down and coming to the realization I didn't feel like leveraging the time I had left working for someone else. I've only ever been truly happy working for myself even if for less money at times. I retired and let my license go.

I'll concentrate on having more fun, building the plane, piddle around the house (wait till you see that one).

After a complete prostatectomy April 12, 2018, an exacerbated old injury (broken neck, more than once) flares up and brings all my fun to a stop. Wait, not all my fun. I can still work on the computer.

Now I'm back. It's fun to see the ones I left a year ago become so successful in just the last year.

I am building an airplane in my garage that I hope to complete within the next few years. This will allow us to travel more freely without all the hassles of commercial flight and my wife's JOB.
