I have not really written in a very long time, and I’ve really missed it. The things I have experienced over the past 4 years I could never wish upon another. What if at a blink of an eye your life changed forever; than you blink again only to open your eyes to another unthinkable …
There is so much that I could have said or could have written and didn’t. There are so many people that continue to be fooled by a fake smile, professional ability to manipulate truths and operate as a expert in narcissism. I always say you can only go forward and never go back, also that …
I had began by writing a blog or a template for a book about my life fighting an unforgivable disease and trying to find my way to navigate through this awful plague. My belief is that I will have a happy ending and I could show others how to ultimately beat or live with …

The fourth of July is a day we celebrate our independence. My independence comes with a heavy cost and is not at all what I had planned. Last year one of my twin boys promised me this year he was going to watch the fireworks with me because he knew it was always my favorite …
Parkinson’s is such a nasty disease, it affects everything around you. Today’s my 51st birthday and I’m still learning to live with it. 13 years ago today I proposed to my wife with a fly rod in my hand and a custom ring I designed dangling at the end of 5X tippet. I told Kristin …
Rise, I asked my father to come for support and take me to a pretty important medical appointment and to see a Neurosurgeon.
