 About Me
I lost my first wife to cancer August 2004 and then married Lisa October 2006 and she is a great partner and helps me alot. I stopped working as Training Manager Feb of this year. I have a boy 31 and a daughter 22 who are the greatest. I have a step daughter (I treat her as daughter) and a granddaughter that is 3. PLS slows me down but I do not let it get the best of me. I use a Musmte AFO and a walker in the house and a scooter or power chair whenI have to go more thn 100 feet.
