Born a 10th generation Oregonian, (5 generations on each side) I have an enthusiasm for learning and teaching new things. After a ten year mini career in the dental field I moved on to research and embraced the social web. Though the internet is far too large for any one person to claim to be an expert, I can hold my own with the latest trends.
I enjoy researching and writing blogs. As the "Internet Program Director" for myMotherLode.com since 2008, I update the website and have a wide variety of interests. There is always something entertaining, educational or inspirational to share.

Years ago, Ronald Reagan must have foreseen today’s lawlessness in America’s major cities often, and usually abetted by, “Progressive” City Councils and District Attorneys.

It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.”
