When I was nine years old, I locked myself in my room and didn’t come out until I had read the entire contents of a biography on Abraham Lincoln. I never got over it, and have been studying America’s 16th President ever since. That of course led to my unwavering fascination with American history and the men and women who make it happen. I started reaching for every biography I could find…Zeb Pike, John Adams, George Washington…I couldn’t get enough. The library became my best friend.
With the advent of the internet, I’m excited to share my my stories with you…through my knowledge and passion for American history.
We’ll also uncover the mysteries of life and get connected with the universe. We’ll explore small-town America, uncover its charm and meet the people who choose to live there, and we’ll search out and salute our heroes along the way. We’ll talk leadership and subjects near and dear to you. Heck who knows…I might even show you a tap step or two or three…anything goes here, provided we’re not violating the rights of others and acting in genuine kindness all the way through. “That we here highly resolve that” anything is possible if we move with great purpose, cause and belief. “See it because you believe it.”
“You either think you can, or think you can’t; either way, you’re right.”
