About

My life began on October 8, 1950

Dad passed away with Alzheimer’s on June 30, 2000. Approximately 9 months later a bleeding ulcer put me in the intensive care unit for 4 days. Prior to this, my health had been poor. The doctors strongly advised me to lose weight.

I set a “smart” goal to lose weight and did. Goal setting felt good, so I set 5 more and they were stair climbing goals. One by one those goals were successfully completed. I found myself without a goal and the Epic Journey across America was born.
