                                                                        Background Information

I was born in Greensboro, NC (December 1, 1946)

I spend the greatest portion of life (that is, thus far) in NC, but I’ve also lived in Texas, Florida, and a very short while in South Carolina.


At the age of 44, I very strangely and quite suddenly found myself facing a very odd kind of crossroads, particularly in the darkest times of my life.  It was during those same times I first set out on a very long journey, seeking an education.  I first felt it was late in life to be learning how to read. 

However, I spent the following year learning how to read and somewhat how to write; the worst part of my journey was working with numbers; for years I thought 2 and 2 were actually 22, I soon discovered, if we add them both together we can also get the number 4; these were indeed exciting times for me, and even at the age of 44 years old, I was quite excited over my new mathematical discoveries.    

I was 48 years old, I had just devoted the last three to four years of my life pursuing  a primary education; franklly, it was sort of a long jump for me, from the day I first learned how to read up until I first entered college.  It was around 1991 by then, my major studies in collage were mostly centered around computer graphics; but, as a sideline study, I further studied in the field of biological sciences.  I spent some of those same 4 years also studying bio-genetics, along with an extra two years of Auto CAD, computer design and engineering.


It was around the mid 1990’s, around 1996; by this time I was 50 years old.  I had left college rather early, 3 months before getting my Bachelors Degree, mostly in order to seek out and discover some badly needed answers, for my long overlooked hidden lifestyle, one full of hardcore drug addiction.  It was near to the latter part of 1997 when I oddly found myself standing (alone) just inside of a glass doorway, which led right into a drug and alcohol treatment center, which was then also located in The Great Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina.

It was there, in that treatment center I would come face-to-face with not only the answers I sought for, for many years, but (oddly enough) I would also come to discover a few extra answers, or answers I really needed in others areas of my life, and answers I didn't really realize I needed, throughout the many years of my hardcore drug addiction. 

And, as mysterious as it all may sound, to many people, most of these badly needed answers were (oddly enough) quite cryptically encoded, and woven deep into a very strange Vision I personally encountered, during my first two weeks at the recovery center.  This visionary encounter occurred in early November 1997; which, the vision I personally encountered also resulted in the creation of my first new book, which also came about some seven years after leaving the rehab center.

Currently, I’m an "in-active" drug addict, recovering (of course) these past 9½ years, from a very heavy 40 year soul gripping drug addiction.  During these past 9½ years, I’ve become very deeply interested and quite personally involved in researching into the many (yet) un-answered and un-resolved challenges contained within today’s thought provoking (Biblical) mysteries, or those mysteries currently facing modern-day scientific claims and theories, and also those concerning many religious claims and ideas; such investigations closely involved "The Theory of Human Evolution" as well as “The Divine Creation Theory.”

  I spent a considerable amount of days and nights closely exploring the many spiritualistic claims and pulpit theories of our day and time, along also with the many common unknowns, which is always associated within the claims of many diverse Christian convictions and beliefs. 

Basically, my in-depth investigations consisted of exploring Biblical concepts, relative to Divine Creationism verses Human Evolutionism; I was seeking to discovered ways as to how and why these two major modern-day fields of interest constantly tend to challenge many of the Biblical concepts of our day.  I later found myself deep into my work, seeking nothing but indisputable and/or infallible results, along also with incontestable Biblical answers; that task was not an easy task, indeed…! 

I discovered the results of my work were basically sound, and also offering quite highly logical answers to all interested parties, more for better defining and logically explaining most all of the mysteries facing mankind today.  I also found myself exploring much deeper into the inspired (and not aspired) visionary message, which lay behind the actual Vision I witnessed in November 1997.  My end results are currently recorded and contained within the many pages of my first new book, entitled, "The Vision Is Here."
