I grew up in Humboldt, Iowa with an older sister. We had a traditional family-- dad had a business and mom stayed home with the kids

My father owned a grocery store and I inherited my entrepreneurial spirit from him. I spent much of my childhood helping out in the store. I learned much from this experience which proved valuable later in life.

I was the photographer for the high school year book and was co-editor my senior year.

I studied biology at Cornell College. I also continued my interest in photography working for the college yearbook and sometimes the newspaper. I became the yearbook editor my junior year at Cornell.

After graduation from Cornell , I then went on to Pharmacy School at Creighton University. I married Susan Foley before my last year of pharmacy school.  Upon graduating I served a year's residency at a hospital in Rhode Island. We enjoyed living in Providence and visiting historic sites in New England.  I did find that driving in Boston was a challenge!

Upon returning to Iowa, I worked in a hospital in Ames for less than a year, and then I started my own Pharmacy business in Belle Plaine, Iowa. I operated my Pharmacy for 13 years. I also concurrently operated a professional photography studio and a video rental business while in Belle Plaine. Did I mention that I programmed my Apple Macintosh to keep all of my pharmacy records? It was wonderful! Belle Plaine was a great little town and our three children were born while we lived there.

For more reasons than I want to list here I closed the pharmacy. The move to Atlantic, Ia provided a way for me to get back into the hospital world as a staff pharmacist. I decided to go back to pharmacy school and complete a PharmD degree so I could be more useful as a hospital clinical pharmacist.

As a non- traditional student I kept my job while achieving my PharmD from the U of Iowa. It took me almost 5 years and I was the oldest Pharmacy school graduate at the U of Iowa in 2001!

I've enjoyed a successful career working with doctors, patients and medical institutions. My computer background eventually allowed me to combine pharmacy and computers together into a new career as a pharmacy clinical analyst.

I've been happily married to my wife, Susan for 44 years and our 3 children are adults. Our first grandchild was born about 2 years ago.

A few years ago, I was struggling with my health.  I was overweight, tired all the time, experiencing brain fog and my health indicators were going in the wrong direction.  I needed to lose weight but I had tried many diets before and they all failed.

Fortunately I discovered  the solution and everything changed for me!  I lost over 70 lbs, my energy was through the roof and my brain fog was gone.  Now I help others who want to improve their health and get rid of their prescription drugs (or at least the ones that don't work), restore their energy, get rid of the brain fog and in some cases, help them with their wealth.

I love to travel and see new places. I love to be on the water but not in it. I enjoy public speaking, writing and teaching. I especially like meeting new people and making new friends. Soon I hope to add, that I love spoiling my granddaughter.

We've  been to Australia, Alaska, The Caribbean and other amazing places around the world. It's great to meet you my new friend.  Let me know how I can add value to you!
