I am a native Houstonian, born 1959, member of Beautiful Savior Lutheran church in Houston, married and have a son and daughter. My other hobbies include photographing and research of abandoned roads and bridges, true stereo recordings, playing guitar and watching tv shows about UFOs and the paranormal. --- Got my start in radio when my parents bought me a shortwave radio around 1972.
