2008. Its 2008 already? I turn 40-years-old in 2008. That'a s pretty big benchmark in my life. 40. Hmmm....

I am still a police sergeant for the KCMO Police Department. I have a wife and three wonderful kids.

For over two years now, I've been involved in paranormal investigations. I founded Ghost Vigil Investigations two years ago...and GVI is a successful group and part of the TAPS Family. A few months ago we started the Ghost Vigil Youths program.

Over a year ago I became interested in Heathenry...or the Asatru religion. It is the religion of my Northern European ancestors prior to the Christian Missionaries showing up. We're talking about Odin, Thor, Tyr, Frey, Frigg, and our other Elder Kin. A group of us are building what is called a Kindred here in Kansas City. This is our website, in case you are curious regarding what I'm talking about!

While I haven't been drawing very much, much of my Killers Gallery artwork was included in a serial killer trading card set and a 2008 serial killer calendar. This has inspired me to add some artwork to my Killers Gallery, but I have not gotten off my arse and begun yet. Not yet...

I've also built a website dedicated to the Historic Elmwood Cemetery and I administer a Role-Playing Game message board. And don't forget the Comic Creators Network message board. Up until recently, I was the Co-Manager of the TAPS Family. That got to be a bit much, with all the other stuff I have going on...and I wasn't 100% happy with the management folks I was working with. So I bowed out gracefully.

O.K. Most of that had nothing to do with drawing or comics. And I know that. Its why I've been away from this blog...and not posting very often this past year. It just seemed like all my non-comicbook hobbies really took off. But, since it appears I'm the only one posting on this blog anyway...it might have to undergo a transformation in the coming months...
