My name is Bob and my goal is to write articles that help people in one way or another. I also have some blogs where you can learn how to make a paracord bracelet or even a paper airplane.

I made the move from Squidoo after HubPages acquired them, where I was a Giant Squid and mentor Squid Angel (until they retired the Angel program). I'm always happy to help other writers any time I can, so if you have questions drop me a note.

I've spent most of my life in law enforcement and public safety, holding such positions as an elected Sheriff, Director of Public Safety, and Sr. V.P. of Safety & Security.

I hold a graduate degree in Organizational Development Psychology and I'm interested in what motivates people and how that translates into success or failure, and how mindset affects outcomes.

- I've been married to my wife for over 30 years and we have a wonderful son who continually inspires me.
- We have a dog and a cat that are both tireless and crazy!
- I love to hike and backpack, and spend time outside every chance I get.
- I love coffee more than anyone you know!

You'll find from my articles that I tend to write on a variety of topics because I have a wide variety of interests and I like to keep my writing and ideas fresh. However, because I spend so much time outdoors and because of my professional background I'm sure there's a heavy slant towards those things.... like hiking, camping, smoking meat, emergency preparedness, and such.

I'm also pretty tech savvy and so I began writing about solving problems like finding your IP address. Of course you'll see some seemingly out of place articles as it relates to my apparent interests, but those can be attributed to writing challenges we had long ago while I was a member of the RocketSquid group.

I really like to hear more about the people who read my articles so please take a moment and leave me your comment while visiting my article pages. Thanks.
