Hey,
I've had a variety of very strange and interesting jobs.(Positions)(We don't wanna talk about the positions)

I'm a person who discovered his talent for writing late in life compared to most of you. It was strictly an accident.
I walked out of my condo in Naples Florida, and sitting on the stairway to the second floor was my inspiration.....
TA DA...... Izzard the Lizard!!!!
That's enough about Izzard and his friends.
It's all about me. One of my summer jobs when in high school was working on a Salmon fishing boat out of Neah Bay Washington. The Home of the Makah Indian tribe. Neah Bay was a small Air force Radar posting during the cold war. I was one of three non-Indian boys in a high school consisting of 63 students. Quite an eye opener! As an Air Force family we were posted all over the country and world. I attended ten different schools in including two years of grade school in Germany.
My life has been my education. Nothing formal to brag about.

I spent nine years in Human resources with a Mid-sized employer (Not very Humane) in Chicago. I ended up hating that kind of work. Hiring and firing wears on the soul. Believe it or not, with the help of a friend I became a Teamster and drove 18 wheeler's in the Chicago area for 26 years. I also did some part time Wedding and Bar Mitzvah Photography.
(I referred to it as grunt photography.) (Believe me, It was less stressful to drive a semi)
I retired in 1999 and moved to Naples Florida where I stumbled into a position as a freelance newspaper photographer with the Marco Island Eagle.
GREAT FUN!!!!!!
And then I met Izzard the Lizard and wrote a 7200 word story about Izzard and his friends Tator the Gator and Nertle the Turtle. They have an adventure by going on the other side of the mushy gushy lake that they live in and on.

Since that time I've completed TWO Novels(NOT PUBLISHED) and I'm 22,000 words into my third novel as I write this.
I have one daughter, granddaughter and great son-in-law.
That, That's, all folks
