I have been happily married to Cindy since 1986. We have three adult children, two amazing daughters-in-law, two beautiful granddaughters and an awesome grandson. We live in Central California and have been here for the last 33 years. We considered a move to the Pacific Northwest but the craziness that has happened there since the pandemic has changed our minds.
I was a professional student and wannabe writer but just haven’t had the time to write in quite some time. I used to write about random political, religion, and leadership issues as well as some random things from time to time. I’m hoping to start writing again soon.
Born and raised in a Christian family, I ran away from God for many years until my wife finally helped me come to my senses and embrace my faith in Jesus Christ. I sometimes write about my faith and the journey I have been on. It has been an interesting journey, where at times I have been very close to God and at other times I can’t seem to find my way.
From a political perspective, I am, as my blog is entitled, Barely Right of Center. I am a recovering conservative who was almost in the Tea Party before I woke up and realized some of those people are just wacko. In reality, I grew closer to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and learned how to have more compassion for other people no matter who they are. My heart breaks over all of the senseless violence in our world, especially violence that is committed in the name of religion.
Sometimes I write about leadership, which is where I have worked for years in the past and what I studied in college. I am intrigued by different leadership philosophies and challenged to be a better leader in every situation. There are other times when I may do book and movie reviews when I see or read something I really love…or really hate.
