This is a descriptive story of my life from age 4 or so to the present time. It covers my life from being an upstate New York small town boy who went overseas to work as a volunteer in Nepal. It is the evolution of a typical American child transformed to an individual working for the Peace Corps. I describe key times and events as well as people in my life that led to what I am today. I explain key events and people that shaped my character. Most parts are in my Nepal life, the most dramatic. I include poetry that I wrote in those times as poems are more concise in thought. Readers can go through my various experiences with me. I hope to pass on that knowledge I learned to those who would read it.
