Born in TX but not really from there... Army brat. Like Johnny Cash I been everywhere man. I’m from America. Lived around Reno for last 35 years, So I guess home means Nevada.

Oddly enough... I graduated from Pueblo County High, Class of ‘76 ... another 1/2 a point for Pueblo?

Two fun facts...
1) when I was 14 I swam all the way from Asia to Europe. About .6 of a mile across the Bosporus Strait.
2) I make acoustic guitars from scratch and I’m currently building #53.

That would be about the right time frame that my Dad - Chuck Carmichael, was a science teacher there. He left right about that era to be the principal at Vineland for 2 decades LOL. Hard to forget dad: strict as Hell, and rocked a crew cut from his teens until the day he died LOL.

Chicago kid.
A widower at 32 with two young kids, I remarried and immediately moved to Alaska. Finally packed up there after years of adventure (and cold!) to settle in St. Maries, Idaho. Married 24 years now.

Fun fact: I was a tall lanky guy in HS, but a pretty competitive wrestler. At 6'5'' everyone always asked me why I didn't play basketball. I finally played organized ball in college when I realized I could flatfoot dunk with two hands. I was pretty good at fouling too!

Fun Fact: I built a tiny house. Lived in it for 4 years and I also delivered our 2nd kid in said tiny house. Our 3rd was also born in the tiny house too but luckily I didn’t have to deliver her. Both born in the house but both have different cities on their birth certificates.

Fun Fact: My county has more cattle than people, which doesn't mean much compared to the west, but that's a lot in the east. Personally, I can't think of anything other than I can wiggle my ears, guess I'm just not a fun person.

Oh, I will drink White Claw and not be ashamed, maybe that's not something to be proud of.

I can also cook pretty much anything in a cast iron skillet, so I'm a good camp cook.

I’m from Fort Worth... for now. Been stationed in Phoenix twice, SLC, Florida, and Korea once. Closest thing to home is Arizona I guess, but I’ll be a military parolee in 6-14months, and I have no idea where we will end up.

Fun Fact: I drop bombs and fly upside down for a living (not at the same time). This makes writing a resume for civilian employment very challenging.
