        Through my life’s journey I have acquired, uncovered, and applied some extra ordinary and unique talents. I was born in Kansas (I am half Chinese and half American) and raised my family along the Kansas/Oklahoma line, Independence and Coffeyville, Kansas, and South Coffeyville, Oklahoma. Now I spend most of my time in Central America caring for loved ones. Other then the United States Marine Corps, all of my accomplishments have been done with no outside support, other than friends and family.
         One time I was told that I depend a lot on others. After I thought about it, all of my success is because of others giving me their support and an opportunity to perform. I believe we all benefit from the generosity of others. Everything you have was given to you by someone (even a pay check) and I have live my life with that attitude. Give and take, makes the world go round.

     I have experienced and have had to endure: so much fear I have wet and pup my pants (more then once), gas shortages, bank closures, food and water shortages, financial collapse (personally and at a national level), economic inflation, high interest,  I have been the subject of riots and numerous personal attacks (emotional, financial, physical, and spiritual), floods, tornados, hurricanes, as an individual I have been threatened or attacked (and in some cases had to take action to stay alive) by bad guys, street gangs, bandits, corrupt police, military, and government officials, been subjected to extreme weather conditions (hot, cold, wet, dry, and/or windy), recently had health issures which crippled our family, taken cold showers, been unemployed and incapable of caring for my own family, I lost both my mother and father at an early age, I have seen people die or loss control of their life because of their inability to be prepared (Normalcy_bias), unable to make any type of a decision, take the appropriate action, and/or do nothing at all.

     P.S. We had serious health issues in our family and we have chosen not to accept government assistance, Medicare, Medicaid, or others (not even the disability sign for parking). We are at the age for social security and have elected not to apply. I feel my generation has let down future generations by allowing our government to go a stray. I want my children and grandchildren to know that I have fought the system my adult life, and I refuse to be bought off for a few hundred dollars a month or associated with the government's controlling mechanisms.
     Even with the health, financial, and emotional adversities we have had to endure, we will live and die in honor with our dignity and spiritual briefs. Our choice not to accept government funds or assistance (opt out) is an example of our faith and beliefs in, family, friends, ourselves, and our God.

I like to think of myself as a good person to be with during dyer circumstances.
