___________________________________________

Timing is everything. God was kind to us. I found myself in the data network business at the 'dawn' of the internet. I saw the opportunity before most and moved to take advantage of it. A lot of work, a bit of luck and the money rolled in for a few years. We did not change our lifestyle (except to travel more) and invested in rental properties (again timing - this was before the run up of prices). By fifty we were debt free with steady income from the rentals.

I 'retired' to start my own company. I do what I want without the pressure of 'having' to bring in a paycheck.

I'm no genius, just smart enough to know what I don't know.
