He is a positive thinking spiritual-metaphysical being that has practiced the Christian based yet non-denominational “Science of Mind” principles and teachings of Earnest Holmes since his late teens.  Raised as a “Middle Class American” from birth, he has experienced, lived, loved, and embraced many different lifestyles, cultures, and peoples in this country of ours, The United States of America.  Through his hard work, sweat, and determination he created and lived “The American Dream” for himself and his family.  He always tends to see the glass as half full, but in the last decade he has had a problem seeing the future of America, his family, our politicians’ promises, and the future generations of this country as anything more than “half empty”.  He states “No one knows what the future will bring, we cannot know.  It is what we do, or don’t do that will shape the future for ourselves, our families, and our future generations”.  He wrote American Me? in an attempt to unite the true "Americans" in this country and to illustrate and hopefully help them resolve the seemingly simple yet complex problems that have plagued our country in recent decades.
