My current projects

I was born in the Americus and Sumpter County hosoital.

I grew up Southern Baptist and attended First Baptist Church from childhood until I left West Palm.

Across Flagler Avenue and on the edge of the intracostal waterway (between West Palm and Palm Beach - First Baptist build and outdoor worship area named the Chapel by the Lake.

In 1974, a well-known Bible teacher, Major Ian Thomas spoke during a week of meetings at First Baptist Church. As part of the youth group that was putting together a newsletter and Selah - I was tasked with writing an article on the meaning of Selah. I nervously asked Major Thomas for a quote which culminated in being asked to visit him at his home in England (Capernway Hall).

For several years, I worked for a consulting division of the largest local CPA firm named The Resource Development Group. One of our projects was to put together a Municipal mini-bond for the Town of Juno Beach.

Across Flagler Avenue and on the edge of the intracostal waterway (between West Palm and Palm Beach - First Baptist build and outdoor worship area named the Chapel by the Lake.

I moved from West Palm Beach to Fort Myers to work with my brother at a small well drilling company named Southwest Water Wells.

After a year or so, Southwest Water Wells was absorbed into a very large deep injection well driller (also) in Fort Myers named Youngquest Brothers.

At YBI, I was responsible for all information technology services for a group of companies including construction, manufacturing, retail and hospitality businesses.My responsibilities included end-user support, AIX system administration, TCP/IP network administration, support for cost accounting business systems and project management utilizing Primavera Project Planner (PPP).I also created a barcode based inventory management system and converted the retail businesses from a manual inventory system reducing the time to inventory from over 3 days to under 6 hours per location.

The experience I gained at Youngquist Brothers enabled me to get a job at the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners (in Pensacola) as a Unix systems administrator.

In Pensacola, I lived in the Ashley Club Apartments on Scenic Hwy.

I was selected to participate in a year long community leadership program sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce.

The assistant County Administrator, Bill Neron helped me land the IT job in Pensacola. His wife introduced me to a local ballet school where I danced in the Nutcracker in the lead role in the party scene and later she persuaded me to take a jazz dance class where in our recital we danced to Funcky Nassau.

I took a trip to Atlanta and into the Blue Ridge mountains in around 2018. Here is a photo the the monument on Stone Mountain.

In late 2024 just prior to leaving Fort Myers - I purchased a Nissan Sentra from Sandy Sansing Nissan.

Co/Builders

Co/Builders is where I connect with others who want to build something meaningful in our community. It’s a place for real friendships, honest conversations, encouragement, and serving together—bringing faith into everyday life and helping each other become who God is calling us to be.

Decorum Apartments

Since December 2024, I have lived at the Decorum Apartments on Six Mile Cypress.

Daniels Road Baptist

In Fort Myers I became a member of Daniels Road Baptist Church.

My brother's house

While I was recovering from my emergency surgery in Pensacola - I lived at my brother's house in Fort Myers.
