With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.

    Thank you Mike for a wonderful tribute. Your photos really touched my heart, I thank God for all of our Veterans and current soldiers who risk it all for our freedom. God Bless all those who have served and are currently serving.
