The Journey of a Thousand Miles begins with a Single Step...

I'm taking the step and hoping I can keep stumbling forward! I've long enjoyed using Wikipedia and have recently begun to utilize the technology in another fora.

I'm in the Middle Ages of my life and have had a very active and amazing life to this point. I've been around the world, lived on four different contintental areas, traveled to over sixty countries, been to every state in the United States. I speak multiple languages, my best second language is Russian.

I've served my country and I've served humanity and I believe I have served God.

I've been married and am married, have six children I call my own, and am currently raising teenagers.

I have a Bachelor in Science in Military History from the United States Military Academy at West Point and a Master's Degree in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies from Stanford University.

I intend to supplement my real life with a virtual one as well.

I am now a portal and my virtual journey is beginning...
