About

I am a retired firefighter/EMT-paramedic/special rescue technician. From a young adolescent to a young adult, I pursued many different hobbies and adventures. I frequently was off to some adventure spelunking, technical rock climbing, and backpacking—canoeing and kayaking the white water rapids of many different classes. As a youth I was one for an adventure over the usual social structures of those times.
I also spent time working part-time with my father in his business, as well as a neighbor who was a wildcat Natural gas and oil exploration operator. When not working with my father or the neighbor, I worked with a local building contractor part-time. I had to pay for that adventuresome spirit somehow!
Both as an adult and a young adolescent, I have had an interest in reading many different sci-fi genres. Real and fictitious books of adventures, Ancient through modern world and local history. I have read the works of many of the well known authors— too many to list. Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clark, Philip K. Dick, Robert Heinlein, and Andre Norton, to list a few in the sci-fi genre.
Throughout my adult life, I have raised a family and worked in several different skilled trades. I put in with a local volunteer fire department and later achieved my career with a major career fire department in central Indiana. I worked in my fire service career for 27 years and retired in my early sixties. I was a firefighter and paramedic, as well as many other aspects of the fire service.
It was in my service as a public servant that I came to truly appreciate the sanctity of life and the frailty of it as well. I have helped to bring new life into this world, and I have had the humbling experience of seeing it leave— abruptly! Cherish the ones you love and let go of the petty things. Life’s callous realities could take them from you tomorrow!
