About me

I was born in Illinois in the City of Chicago and raised in the South suburbs of Chicago. We looked at the governmental disaster called Chicago from the outside. Unfortunately this governmental insanity which stayed strictly in the city of Chicago, has crept into the suburbs and is blasting through the state.

I was a resident of Minnesota from 1981 until returning to Illinois in 1995. I learned politics and media in Minnesota while working with computers, became a stay at home dad and did broadcast radio at KMOM Monticello Minnesota.

With the return to Illinois, this time on the west side of the state, I worked odd jobs, started a photography business, worked a a school district that was smaller than one of the grade schools in the district I grew up. I learned web design and have worked on my projects and did a cup of coffee working on the John Deere web site. I also did morning news for a while at WKEI Radio in Kewanee Illinois and News, morning voice of WHHK Galva, Illinois, and general programming for the old WGEN in Geneseo Illinois while also cutting my teeth with the Moline Dispatch as a correspondent. I was able to talk with people.

I have spent the last eight years with the last two as an official resident in Iowa. I got a job at a major Cedar Rapids firm and took weekday residency with return trips to western Illinois. I have seen through these experiences that there is a big problem with Illinois government. Illinois government does not seem to represent the interests of the citizens of Illinois who are citizens of the United States. Visually it is power hungry people filling their pockets and/or doing stupid things. The difference is hard to tell. Effectively the state is under one party rule. The Democrats. Odd for a state that produced two Republican presidents.

I am not a politician, but a systems analyst, editorialist, author, Web Content creator, and voice. I look to fix problems. My legacy is to be like I learned in Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Explorers, leave it better than I found it.
