Gospel, Rhythm and blues, Country rock, ballads and easy listening.

Camping and fly fishing.

I work for the Salvation Army in a drug and alcohol rehab, as a senior caseworker. Which I’ve been doing for the past nine years, after going back to school and getting qualifications. Something I wouldn’t have believed possible years ago. I spent time in the army, left and joined a bike club. Where I wasn’t accountable to any one bar the club. I had a bike accident in 78, which in a lot of ways saved my life, as I wasn’t able to ride anymore and had to leave the club. I still wasn’t accountable to any one and did my own thing, which I paid a high price for, having a number of motor vehicle accidents due to my using. This still didn’t stop me from running away from myself in alcohol and other drugs. I finally had had enough and started to want recovery, this took a number of years, as I wanted to do it my way, which didn’t work. I had to surrender to win, finally admitting defeat in 1998. I had to change my thinking as I believed that you could hire my body but not my brain. Due to the number of accidents I ended up with a permanent disability and I realised that I was getting to old to still try and do manual labour. So I went back to school, still not knowing what I wanted to do. Then out of the blue I was offered a job in a rehab, which I took and I haven’t looked back since. God works in mysteries ways. Today I'm gratefull for the little things.

Camping and flying fishing.
Just setting by a mountain river, watching the beauty of life around me. The ocean has the same attraction, I can set for hours watching the surf.
Songs with meaning. Poeple who are honest and trying to have a better life.
My friends and whats left of my family.

Dishonesty, bull s**t and lies.
