Deaf People Can Do Everything But Hear.

About Me

Having to deal with Young Onset Parkinson's Disease while trying to be a Father and a Husband. Just enjoying life, using my TTY (Telecommunications Device for the Deaf) to call family and friends. Talking and emailing my very best friend, Daniel up in New Joysee.Working in New York City at the Federal Building on 90 Church Street next to Ground Zero. Looking out the eighth floor window and remembering that horrible September day.Sometimes I think to myself about how lucky I am to be able to see my wife and kids every day of the week. Just remember to never leave home without telling those you love that you love them. You never know when things can change in a matter of minutes......I do enjoy visiting the ranch down in Texas, and riding out on the range. Enjoying those beautiful Texas evenings with a bottle of wine and two dixie cups at 3 AM.
