Country Gentleman

I love farm life. Since I was a boy, I've worked and maintained the family land in Pilot Point Texas. We've had cows and chickens, cats and dogs, deer and bees, just about any kind of life you can imagine.

I took the path of technology to get here, which is not common in this small town. After earning my MBA, I got into online marketing. This pays the bills, but the whole point is to make a better home for my family, here on the farm.

So learn from my lessons in the field, and heed my advice. I've experienced, researched and compared all the ideas in my articles, and can confidently say: they've worked for me.

I'll be happy to lend you a hand on your own journey to self-reliance.
