About the Author

Author, Photographer, Walker.

Retired from the hospitality industry.

I have longed believed that I struck out on my own when I was eight years old to Walk My Own Camino. That was the year my mom died. That was the year I learned about self-reliance to move forward. There was my father and four brothers, one a twin, but still, the world changed for me. Then, when I was fifteen my dad died. I moved on to the next phase of my life, living with my older brother Ron and his new wife Lorraine. I went away to college. I dropped out and moved to Florida when I was twenty. Worked for Walt Disney World for three years. Then tried several other options - delivering potato chips, selling life insurance, and commercial sheet metal ductwork. Finally ended up as a hotel convention service manager and moved into hotel group sales positions. Eventually, I retired.

That was the journey of my life, my personal Camino. The path I walked, like walking the Camino de Santiago, had many ups and downs, joys and sorrows, elation and depression. That is the path of living. We all experience these emotions or issues of life to different degrees. But we move on. One foot in front of the other.
