My name is John and I live in the sleepy but fast-growing seaside city of New Port Richey. I'm living the best days of my life with the love of my life - Carol! I do appreciate the tropical weather and sunshine here - just can't imagine a better place on earth.
I've worked as a forklift operator at a warehouse and worked as a chef in several upscale restaurants. I've owned and run my own family restaurant, a truckstop restaurant and a pizza place. I've worked as a manager of several restaurants and a few other businesses. I've even owned my own cake decorating business for about 3 years. I Guess you could say I've had a varied experience.
These days I work doing Public Speaking at my own pace. I specialize in speaking to church groups, civic groups, businesses and clubs with motivation, humor and specialty topics.
With some of the rest of my time I run an Internet Business. The combination of my Speaking and my Internet Business gives me all the wealth I could want. As my own boss I get to stay at home with Carol and go traveling, whichever I like.
Our last cruise to Cozumel was a great little getaway since we enjoyed being treated like royalty. (Our previous cruise was on the Carnival Miracle and we took a whole week of super R&R.) After gourmet dining, seeing the musical shows in the theater is a great outing. So was a little time with the slot machines in the casino. We took great pleasure in our strolls on the upper decks, hearing the water against the ship's hull and breathing in all that sea air.
In my spare time I do volunteer work with Kairos (means God's special time) - a prison ministry. God and my church hold special places in my daily life.
It is a joy to wake up each morning, excited to do whatever I choose for enjoying that day! How many people get to say that?
I really enjoy meeting new people. When I see I have been able to help someone out, it does my heart good. I like being entertaining and sharing humor with others who enjoy it.
