Since storm chasing has become a part-time job, I don't have any hobbies right now.
I love Chinese, Japanese and Italian food.
I love dogs. I don't have one at the moment as I travel around too much.
My family roots are in North Carolina and West Virginia, but we are pretty spread out now, with representation in Pittsburgh, Boston, Cincinnati, Charlotte, Raleigh and Charleston, WV.
I believe the Bible is true, that God is real, and faith in Jesus Christ is the only way for people to be saved.
I listen primarily to Contemporary Christian music.
I can get into bluegrass from time to time.
I don't watch movies or TV much anymore.
I spend too much time in front of computers.
Purpose:
My primary purpose in life is to 'pass on' the message of salvation in the cross of Jesus Christ. The Bible says that we have all sinned against God and are consequently on the way to hell. Jesus died on the cross to pay the price and make heaven a possibility for all of us, if we just turn to Him. I don't consider myself 'religious' or 'fanatical', both are tired stereotypical terms that I cringe at. I'm far from perfect, but I'm trying my best to live the way God wants me to live. A few of my friends and I put together a web site that explains the message of Christ in detail. I hope that you'll take some time to read it.
My work is, at this very moment you are reading this, generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I was forced to shut down the professional side of my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field.
