Just to share a bit about myself, so you have an idea where I come from, really and figuratively…I was born in Virginia and raised in Oklahoma.  We were fairly poor.  I was the first in my family to attend college…dad would have nothing but a son that went to college!  After college I was commissioned in the U. S. Marine Corps and served 12 years.  While on active duty at Headquarters Marine Corps in Washington, DC, I went to night school and got my M.A. in Business Management.  I was a Captain when I got out of the military.  For the next decade, I was an agent and manager in the insurance and investment industry.  Then in 1997, I became an entrepreneur and business owner.  During this time period, I got my Ph.D. in business management and my J.D. in law.  I have been partners in about 10 different businesses and most have been real estate investment oriented.  I have several passions…one is riding my Harley-Davidson.  I bought my first Harley in 1977 and the love has continued.  I am building that blog site also…it is www.PassiveIncomeAndHarley.com/blog.  Please stop by there and watch it grow.  Another passion of mine is helping people get out of debt.  I specialize in helping my clients with the Money Merge Account system from United First Financial.  My business web site is www.FinanciaLiberty.com.  That one is not a blog, it tells about the product that I sell.  Let’s help lots of people together.  My personal blog is at www.JamesOatesIII.com.  Another of my interests is partnering with people so that we can all prosper.  Tied closely to that is my concern for the sustainability of our planetary systems.  When I was at Principia in 2008, I had the thought of creating a blog for that purpose.  It is www.CooperationEarth.com/earth.  It is a place for like-minded people to share.
