Bio

I'm a 100% service connected disabled Veteran from the US Navy and proud to have served!! I've spent the last 28 yrs +/- of my retirement as a Business Entrepreneur Starting one successful business after another and each from scratch. The last 5+/- years I've gradually sold off each business and I'm learning to enjoy my retirement while my health & wife will allow it.
