Born and raised on the Navajo Reservation, 25 years total as a child and adult. Various fits and starts at careers, Printing, Education, Retail, Nursing. Father of three grown children. Sharecroppers on a farm in Hawaii, living in a house we call “Right Side Up,” (as in how we landed after losing everything in the recession of 2008) with my wife, my niece, two dogs, a whole herd of cats, two koi, and two macaws. On the farm we mainly raise spirits with hard work. Coffee is the next most valuable crop, followed by citrus and tropical fruit.
