About Me	Life challenged me from the day I was born. I was born with a congenital birth defect. Hyper-teleorism with a mid-face cleft. In laymens terms my right nostril was open and my forehead incomplete allowing my brain to push out. As a result my head was also wider than normal and my eyes never learned to work together properly. To this day both work well but never together unless I concentrate. Most ball sports are out as I have no depth perception. Today when new people meet me most think I have been in a car wreck or bad fight.

This leads me to being busy making memories today so I can ponder them in the future. Its probably why I like to camp, travel, hike, and take pictures so much. I live to be in, around, or near water! My favorite sport is hydroplane racing and I've been called a fish out of water as long as I can remember. These days I'm a busy married father of two boys who are as goofy as me. In the end my friends and family will tell you I'm funny with a dry wit, tenacious when I set my mind to something, and wise beyond my years. I'm still trying to fig...(read more)
