I am a married father of four children. I am new to the Dallas/Fort Worth area, but am a native Texan. I served in the US Coast Guard and Army Reserve. I am a certified Texas Master Naturalist, with my primary interests being birds and mushrooms. I love to read and draw illustrations. I listen to a wide variety of music, with a particular love of jazz and soul. I believe letter writing is a dying art, and think this may be a very enjoyable experience.
