Explanation:

In June of 2005 I went in the hospital for a stress test and ended up signing in for bypass surgery. Approximately one week after the surgery I suffered a stroke which left me with no fine motor control over my right side and a very bad memory.

After the stroke I was forced to retire from a job at Jewelry Television that I truly loved.

I still try to stay active, but I wear out too quickly now for my personal standards, although I still hope to improve as time goes by. My family, and above all my wife and son have been very supportive through the entire process. If you have any questions please email them to me and I will do my best to answer them.
