I am just me. A simple, unassuming guy who's done quite a few different things and love to share my experiences with others. I have been successful selling healthcare software for most of my career. I took a break from the business world to work for my church for 5 years as Assistant Pastor in a Presbyterian Church. I did many things there, but my favorite had to be my work with Seniors. What a great group! I still have lunch with many of them once a month.
I've also held insurance licenses for over 10 years and am focusing on that (Long Term Care & Medicare Supplements and Health). I'm also doing a financial newsletter. We just started that, but it's getting great compliments. marketlionsdigest.com
I've been married to Julie for 17 wonderful years! Don't ask me about the other 7. lol. She is a chef so we don't have to worry about food around here. odinnerwhereartthou.com
We have 2 children: Naomi and Christopher. Naomi is a student at Wheaton in Illinois and Christopher is a dual-enrolled student at Seminole State College.
In my spare time I enjoy working out, wine and beer - I've made both and even been wine salesman of the year in Atlanta, GA but the funny thing is I don't drink that often. Even so, I will have an occasional Single Malt Scotch with my cigars.
When smoking those cigars, I am either chatting with good friends, watching the Braves or Rays on TV, or reading theology, economics, or politics. I have a passion for reformed theology and capitalism.
I love Motorcycles. Right now I am on a Ducati ST3. I really love this bike, but I'll likely be trading it in as my very tall wife is riding with me now. I've also led many rides and will probably be telling about that here.
I speak a little Spanish and it is my strong desire to be fluent someday. I have many hispanic friends and family (4 nephews and nieces). I love the language, (speaking broadly) the food, the culture, and to visit the countries. I can't travel often enough to Mexico, Central, and South America. I would love to buy a home there someday - Right now I am thinking Mexico or Panama. Any suggestions? I would love to visit Spain as well as Scotland someday.
Even though I no longer work for the church, I still do a few weddings here and there. I am honored to be doing one in a few weeks from now. I also read theology: I'm a reformed Christian. We can talk about that sometime. I also fill in for a few friends when they need some preaching help. I'll be doing that in a few weeks.
Thanks for reading.
Have a great day,
Chris
