Life, It's All About Choices

I was born in the upper Northwest in a middle income, single worker family with loving
parents and three great brothers. While growing up I quickly learned the importance
that no matter what choices I made, I would have to be accountable for those choices.
Finishing high school in Canon City, Colorado made me realize that I needed more
education than my diploma could provide for me to be successful in my life. Working
underground in a mine in Leadville, Colorado was very helpful in my decision to pursue
further education. So back to school I went after a wonderful two year stay in Heilbronn,
Germany thanks to Uncle Sam. It took me several years to complete my desired
masters degree but it was well worth it.
Needless to say I have made a large amount of bad choices in my life that have cost
me emotionally and financially but I hope and pray that I have learned from those
mistakes. Without a doubt I have made some great choices that have blessed me for
many years. I am a human being so therefore along with the good comes the bad and
as a young man I quickly learned that I had to own up to my choices. I am currently
working in a psychiatric unit in New Mexico and am so grateful for and happy in my
job. God has richly blessed me with my loving family who are the center of my life. An
excellent choice on my part.
