Author bio

I grew up in a small town in Southern Maine. Moved to Central Florida around 1993. I spent time in the Army, many years working at Disney. Not all at the same time. I’ve done a variety of jobs over the years. Currently, we’re traveling around the country in our RV working at various campgrounds. We’ve been to Texas, Arizona, Washington, Utah and now we’re in New Mexico until April when we go to the Black Hills of South Dakota.
