Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.
There is nothing that I can say that hasn’t all ready been whispered, all words have all ready been defined and there is nothing new under the sun. If we choose to create a new language and redefine things, who will understand you, Acceptance of things as they are and have been, will open your path to things that will be. God positioned us in the single best place in our galaxy, in the cosmos for that matter, so that we could gain knowledge of things equally great and simple. The simplest greatest thing we can grasp is of Love and things Eternal. For naught are things done for greatness, accomplishment originates in merely simple tasks with great love.

Born in Denver CO. grew up in the Carbondale – Glenwood CO. area also known as the tri-river valley or the Roaring Fork River valley. This river valley consists of the Roaring Fork River and has two main tributaries, the Crystal River and the Frying Pan River. The Roaring Fork River starts in the mountains near Aspen CO and flows down past Snowmass to Basalt where the Frying Pan empties into it then past Carbondale where the Crystal empties into the river, then flows through Glenwood Springs and empties into the Colorado River.
My mother comes from the Leroux family. The Leroux’s and the Lee’s came to Colorado during the great gold rush. I think the Leroux’s were here first originally arriving somewhere near the Fort Carson area, and the Lee’s settled in the Cripple Creek area. My great grandfather from the Lee family met my great grandmother in Kansas, a full blooded Cherokee lady. Her family had been located there during the Trail of Tears, where the Cherokee were rounded up and moved to Central America from the east cost, many died during this journey. The Leroux ranches in Colorado are near the head of the Colorado River in the Krimmling CO area. My grandfather married one of the Lee daughters and eventually settled in the Glenwood Springs area. When I was young moved back in with my grandfather and re-married when I was 4 years old. My heritage is made up of; French and Cherokee on my mothers side, and mostly Norman and Germen on my fathers side.
At the age of 6 was adopted and my name changed from Osborn to Mullin. I was one of those kids that wanted to grow up to be an astronaut. LOL never happened. At the age of 12, I was into electronics and model rocketry. At the age of 16 I took formal electronics in high school. I was in the class of 1978 at the Roaring Fork High School in Carbondale CO. I graduated from college in 1988 and it took four years after that to get a decent job. I have worked in the high tech industries ever since. I married Vickie in 1997, taking on the responsibility of rising two boys with her. I have a new family member now my daughter who lives with her mother in Texas, of whom I am very proud of.
