I am a man devoted to the study and proliferation of History and the continuous flow of objective information into the books and other works of serious authors.  It is imperative, I believe, that we understand who we were in the beginning of our country and what our forefathers did to create this great country. we can then understand our present world and what we can do to insure a safe, prosperous, and even greater future for the American people and their uniqueness.  My major influences as far as human beings are concerned are my aunt Ramona, my wife Amy, my mentors and teachers, Dr Thomas C. Schunk of Bellevue University fame and Dr B.W. Aston of Hardin-Simmons University. My greatest influence is the Lord Jesus Christ, to whom I owe more than my life.  I owe Him my heart, my soul, my body, and my mind, all of which He has healed more than once in my life.  I write because I desire the least subjective view of History and historical matters, teaching as well as entertaining, I hope . I am a retired Air Force Technical Sergeant with 20 years of military service to my credit.  After college, I taught for a few years, mostly at the college level.  I have worked in the business sector for several years, but I finally fully retired in 2006 and have devoted myself to making my wife happy and seeing my grandchildren as often as possible.
