About Me

Welcome to my page. I hope you will make yourself at home and enjoy my photos, music (sometimes upbeat, often gentle and soothing) and videos. My page changes formats monthly and my videos change weekly, so there is always something new each week.
I am single, with no children. My heritage is Cherokee Indian/Irish on my mother's side and Welsh/German on my father's side. I have an A.A.S. in Mechanical Engineering, B.S. in Accounting, and an M.B.A. in Business Management.
I appear to be very reserved, and I am to some degree as required by my profession. I am also described as gentle-natured, very kind-hearted, warm, 'dry' sense of humor, considerate, quiet-natured, very playful, VERY self-reliant and soft-spoken. I consider myself spiritual and live my life by the Native American Commandments.
I have lived in the Brandon, Florida area for the past 19 years, and in Ohio for about 24 yrs prior to coming to Florida. I also served four years active duty in the 474th Tactical Fighter Wing at Nellis AFB, Nevada ('80 - '84).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jon Stewart, Steve Smith (a.k.a. Uncle Red on the Red/Green Show), Jeff Corwin, Al Franken, John Cleese, Les Stroud, Susan Bluechild, Tim Burton, Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs), and Lewis Black.

Life in my backward world continues....

Okay...I am left-handed, so most of the human world is backward to me, but I'm not sure how THIS happened:I recently and quietly discovered that for 40+ years, I've misunderstood the term, "Indian Sum...
