I am a man devoted to the study and proliferation of History and the continuous flow of objective information into the books and other works of serious authors.  It is imperative, I believe, that we understand who we were in the beginning of our country and what our forefathers did to create this great country. we can then understand our present world and what we can do to insure a safe, prosperous, and even greater future for the American people and their uniqueness.  My major influences as far as human beings are concerned are my aunt Ramona, my wife Amy, my mentors and teachers, Dr Thomas C. Schunk of Bellevue University fame and Dr B.W. Aston of Hardin-Simmons University. My greatest influence is the Lord Jesus Christ, to whom I owe more than my life.  I owe Him my heart, my soul, my body, and my mind, all of which He has healed more than once in my life.  I write because I desire the least subjective view of History and historical matters, teaching as well as entertaining, I hope .

My first book, a historical study of the Panamanian quest for independence and national sovereignty over a four-hundred-year timespan, is currently at the publisher's being printed. It details how Panamanians evolved from being a nation of Spanish loyalists to the youngest republic in the Western Hemisphere. As a result, the Path Between the Seas finally became a reality. I am currently working on my second non-fiction book which concerns my personal perspective on a young man just in the Air Force and in a foreign war in Vietnam in 1968. It will be a little serious, a little humorous, and how one Vietnam veteran lived out one year in his young life.

Revolution: The Panamanian Quest for Independence and National Sovereignty
Panamanians thirsted for independence from the time Western Europeans first trod the shores of the Isthmus in AD 1501. The Panamanian people achieved their objective on November 3, 1903, through a relatively bloodless revolution undertaken by Panamanian patriots and their sympathizers from the United States of Colombia and (North) America. It was then that the technologies and engineering techniques of North American companies,coupled with the medical discovery of the century and the blood, sweat, and tears of Americans and Panamanians alike, brought about the creation of the Panama Canal.
