About Me
I have a wonderful family, wife Cindy, a daughter Leslie, and a son, Lance. A great mom and dad, 2 younger brothers, nephews and nieces, and inlaws. They have all been very supportive and stood by me 100% since my dx. Before ALS I enjoyed bass fishing, salt water fishing, and golf. Golf is out of the question now, but can still fish with a little help. After my dx, it took me a few months to accept this stuff, but with the help and grace of God I'm going on with my life and enjoying everyday he gives me. These days I'm trying to be an advocate, first for Jesus Christ and then ALS.
