Prologue

Adam was a strapping young man. Some would describe him as a well chiseled average, height young man. Very healthy muscular look, but not bodybuilder style. A pleasing to a woman’s eye. Men wished they had his build, muscular.

Ladies that know him would describe him as having Cinnamon blond hair with bright blue eyes that could suck you in and make you feel loved and secure. He was the perfect height for most. Anyone would say he had a chiseled body, but not so muscular that he looked muscle bound. Just enough that the sun rolled off his muscular golden skin covered in sweated from hard work.

He just thought of himself as average. He wasn’t a conceded or narcissists young man.

Adam thought of himself as a well put together average guy. He did take care of himself because he felt it was for others, not himself, if he was in good shape and looked presentable.

Growing up Adam loved physical work. Even though he was above average for his ability to learn, he chose to work with his hands. As an adult he was very in tuned with reading people and although some thought of him when they first meet him or see him. A muscle-bound bonehead.

Adam occasionally played into it just to catch people or get a better read on them. If they read as jerks and was being jerks? He would play down more or blast them with knowledge that would spin their heads and send them away feeling grade school drop outs. He was by no means an average guy when it came to knowledge. Very smart, even though he never attended school past high school. Adam decided that with his brother having 2 girls and 3 boys and with him not wanting a relationship or kids. He was the simple type person that had no need for a relationship or kids. So, he had a vasectomy and just put more time into his brothers’ children. Spoil them and send them home. Many would joke. He was very happy enjoying time with his nieces and nephews. Making their time with him, feel like they were with a second father. This was some of the best times he had as memories and loved making more. No immediate family ties and freedom to do anything he wanted at a moment’s notice.

Adam had his own business doing high quality handyman jobs and loved it. He was by no means an unschooled man. He grew up helping his Uncle doing masonry, his Dad in automotive shop, Grandfather in master cabinetry shop and also was well read and put himself through electrician’s school. He loved working with his hands and the feel of pride in what he finished along with the high-quality people knew him for doing. This kept him very busy, happy and with no financial problems.

He owned average ranch style 2 bed room, nice woodwork all around, 2 car garage home that he renovated himself. An old truck for work and a nice used car.

His house was located in a small but very nice community. Quite the accomplishment for such a young man, but he was dedicated to his work and nieces and nephews. He wasn’t a guy that like worldly items or flaunting money. Clean simple living.

However. He did like a healthy savings account for future what if’s, and spoiling his nieces and nephews a little at a time, so he wouldn’t show his financial accomplishments or flaunt he had money.

This led into him being quite well off, but you would never guess it, if you met him.

The things that keep happening to him only happens in some guys dreams. Even with this, he remains humble, respectful and down to earth.

He remained working hard and loved manual labor the best.
