Aspiring Podcaster

A Podcast in the future?

I used to have a podcast on iTunes back when I was the Apple Ambassador for the Kaiserslautern Mac User Group. Now I'm thinking of starting another one based on what is happening in the world socially and politically.

Aspiring Author

I love and enjoy writing.

Since 1986, I have dreamt about writing and publishing a book. I have written software installation and support manuals for the US Air Force and NATO. At the moment I have two, simultaneous projects in the works.

Fiction

Since the 1980s I have played AD&D with a small group of friends. I have been working on a book based on those adventures for the past thirty years. Now that I have retired, I'm getting closer to finally finishing it.

Non-Fiction

Current political events in America, and now spreading to other countries around the world, have put the idea of writing a book about the rise of nationalism and the threat that autocratic leaders like Putin and Trump pose to the future of humanity.

SC-Wegberg Radsport Abteilung

I'm proud to ride now with a local club of like-minded but younger cyclists.

  • Get fitter and healthier
  • Experience Germany like never before
  • Make new friends

I support the following outstanding companies

These firms have a long history of supporting the cycling community. They provide superior cycling products, services, and support to cyclists at all levels.
