KEYSER, WV

HOST

Location Independent Writer and Itinerant Media (audio/video) Producer Details: I'm a (just slightly) pre-Baby Boomer, born in NJ, 12 miles from New York City. Left there in 1967 when I completed my BA and moved to Syracuse, NY to earn an MS. Since then I've lived in San Antonio, TX & Washington, DC (courtesy of the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam era), Annapolis, MD (and surrounding area), the Shenandoah Valley near Winchester, VA - and moved my domicile to Box Elder (Rapid City) SD in 2010, but use a small rural town, Keyser, in WV as my eastern base camp. I'm a lifelong entrepreneur with over 60 years in the audio & video production & recording industry. I also owned a business/self-help trade book publishing business for a dozen years. I just recently published a new book for one of my former authors. It's the first book I've published in 12 years. I've always been self-employed and nearly always worked from my home. I have conducted seminars and workshops on various topics including home-based businesses. I gave up the more traditional lifestyle and moved from the 49 acre ranch I ran my businesses from at the end of 2008 for a nomadic life of traveling and working on all kinds of recording and writing projects wherever I happen to be. I created a 12 Step Program for Living Free, soon to be released as a book and I will conduct seminars, workshops and retreats for individuals seeking the personal freedom they have not yet found. I am divorced and the father of an accomplished graphic/web designer son based in Los Angeles, CA. I consider myself laid back, a good conversationalist and somewhat-retired - whatever that means - I'll never fully retire, it's not in my vocabulary. I am a life long learner, love meeting new people, can never wait to see what's around the next bend in the road or over the next hill and am into a simple, uncomplicated, frugal lifestyle. Otherwise, my friends think I'm a pretty nice guy. Home Town: I'm originally a Jersey Boy from Clifton, NJ. Favorite Boondocking Locations: So far . . . everywhere is my favorite. So much to see, so little time to see it all.
