About Me

My childhood was spent in State care. I was moved through 30 different placements and lost contact with all of my family. After I aged-out, I trekked across the country to find myself. I ended up in Hawaii after selling my 1966 Mustang in Wisconsin. I became a youth counselor and got married in 1998.mspmb allowScriptAccess="never" enableJSURL="false" src="http://lads.myspace.com/slides/slideshow_random.swf?u=1 02878643" enableJavaScript="false" allowScriptAccess="never" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="426"
