GEOLOGY

I am a 64 year old man with a wide variety of professional and life experiences. I'm divorced after an 18 year marriage and have 2 grown children. I've lived throughout the US, in TX, PA, GA, ILL, VA, SD, NM, and OK. I worked for the US government 1972-93 as an intelligence analyst, researching and writing on defense topics. Later, I have worked as an author, editor, substitute teacher, engineering technician, and holistic healer. I have been doing energy healing work since 1990. I had polio at age 6 and have been living and working a relatively normal life from a wheelchair since 1953. I have been living independently since I went to college in 1965. I have a broad range of skills including technical writing, energy healing, intuitive, general engineering, geology, drawing, painting, drafting, teaching, and others. I try to integrate my knowledge in many fields to create new knowledge.

Writing calms me, makes me happy and gives me feelings of accomplishment, self-satisfaction and pride. Growing up, my father continually reminded me: “Mike, the more interests you have, the more interesting you will be.” How right my father was. Thanks Dad! I have more interests in my life than I have time. I do not consider myself a “subject matter expert” on any particular issue. I do, however, consider myself competent in areas where I have developed interest. A famous author once said: “Scientists are dreamers and engineers are doers.” Though not degreed, I feel I maintain both qualities. I spent many years working toward a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology. I am substantially educated. I maintain interest in the core sciences and enjoy conceiving, designing and building products of my imagination. But, my primary pursuit is writing about the things I dream about doing. My first novel is in progress; simultaneously I am developing a non-fiction piece whose working title is “Great Ideas.” I am working to bring my first-ever website on line. My experience comes from the old-style print media; I continue to educate myself on the new-age electronic media. Night and day would be my best analogy of those two related, but completely different industries. Additionally, for Yahoo! Voices, I am currently authoring a series of articles, as follows: A Series on America's Greatest Trees. A Series on America's Greatest Small Trees. A Series on America's Greatest Bushes. A Series on America's Greatest Vines. A Series on Americas Greatest Ground Cover. A Series on Americas Greatest Grasses. It's a plate full, but as I love to say: "You will never loose unless you quit!" I'm not quitting ... any time soon.

It is enormously difficult but fun to do a writing resume at age 58. To make the long story as brief as possible, I didn't start buckling down until 1980, ten years after my high school graduation, when I went to college with no burning goal other than to start a journey. By 1985, I had an associate's degree in forestry and just about all the undergraduate courses necessary for a bachelor's in geology, but I just wasn't ready for geochemistry then and the financial aid ran out. It was a difficult time. After bailing out of college and starting work in Albany with Kelly Services, I still wanted something more and so began to travel through America, working with Kelly Services until no temp jobs were available and I got a receptionist job in New Mexico. Somewhere along the way, I discovered the wonders of basic English and found that I could type quickly, and because of my college experience, do basic research and handle technical terms easily. Medical transcription called, and I ended up in an entry-level position with a small company in San Francisco, later on coming back East, where I have been ever since. Now writing calls. While I did sell a few freelance science articles to local newspapers back in the 1980s, it is a whole new world now, and there is much to learn. The Yahoo Contributor Network is a wonderful place to break in and share my love of the craft with others.

I am a full-time jewelry artist who wants to be a better writer; mostly so I can take this show on the road. I'd like to be able to work from anywhere in the world. My interest in writing has been developing since I was an undergrad at LSU. Instead of creative writing, I entered the Geology department and my life was taken over. I don't regret the decision at all, but the types of jobs I can get really do not appeal to me. So, here I am; the Accidental Artist! I was working in a lab and just hated the position. The managers did not treat the lab workers with the respect they deserved and I was not interested in being a part of that. I feel so free now! I miss the paycheck, greatly, but this freedom is incredible! So, yes, I'm interested in making money as a writer and a jewelry artist. That's who I am right now.

I'm a masters student in Geomicrobiology. I have a BA in Geology and I've loved rocks, paleontology, and environmental science since I was 2 years old. I live with my boyfriend who also has a BA in geology and is getting his masters in secondary education to become an Earth Science teacher. I also love the Wizard of Oz, giraffes, and mermaids.

Born at Tyler, TX in 1952. Educated at Texas A&M, Tarleton State, Texas Instruments Learning Center, and General Dynamics Training (Ft. Worth). Have worked in law enforcement, electronics, aerospace, computer programming, and geology. I am previously published in technical and scientific areas. Have lived in rural northern Florida for the past 15 years.

Most of my education is in the life sciences, including Zoology and Genetics. I do, however, have a passion for all of the sciences, with Geology and Statistics thrown in for good measure. I graduated Nursing school and have been an RN since 1991. My specialty areas were Geriatrics and Oncology. I also worked as a corporate nurse, conducted interviews, hired nursing personnel, taught CNA classes, and conducted staff in-services for health and safety. One of my most heartfelt passions is wildlife biology and conservation. I have successfully raised orphaned baby beavers, cottontail rabbits and various species of wild birds for release back into their natural habitat when possible. I love working with reptiles, keeping and breeding Chameleons (Veiled and Mellers), Desert Horned Lizards, and Bearded Dragons. When I have the time I build stained glass lamp shades, wedding and other special occasion cakes, and have been successful making and selling bridal bouquets and wedding arrangements and sets. I now work from home while studying business and marketing. Freelance writing is a wonderful outlet for my varied interests, and I have become proficient in SEO, though keeping up with the ever changing theories is a challenge. My story is a portrait of miracles. In 1987 I was bitten by a rabid Raccoon. I was told that I was the first person to survive Rabies since the 1800's. On June 1, 2009 I began treatment for Pancreatic Cancer. Once that was behind us my husband was diagnosed with Nasopharyngeal Cancer and began treatments on June 1, 2010. His is also a success story, with his last two PET scans being completely clear.

I am currently a graduate student working on my masters in geology. I intend to graduate in May, 2012, then continue on to my Ph.D. or possibly try to find field work in archaeology. I also have aspirations to be a fictional writer and a business owner, both are definitely in progress, but are moving very slowly.

I am an Adjunct College Professor and Freelance Author. I spend most of my days homeschooling my children and preparing for class in the evening.
