. 2. Hire a high-dollar production company: saves time, but watch for huge expenses

Among many other things I am a Christian, a Vietnam Veteran (USAF), a retired firefighter/paramedic, a husband, a father,  and an adult educator. I have earned university degrees in communication, business administration, and instructional design. I am a 32nd degree master mason, pilot, sculptor (in glass), a video producer, Aerospace Education Officer for the Civil Air Patrol, and above all a REALLY nice guy. Yes, I take great pride in my own humility. Over the past few years, in anticipation of my retirement from 50 years in emergency services, I have leveraged my communication, education, and experience to begin a new career as the owner and executive producer at Hilltop Video Services. I have a rather different view on life and how we are to live in this “reality.” You see in 1992 God threw me back to finish my mission. He was not done with me yet. I was “killed” in a car accident in 1992. Yes, it was my fault…. I drove right through the GREEN light. It was the kind of experience that changes you forever. But that is a discussion for another time and over a few beers. Suffice it to say that I am all about the ethics and helping humans become the best that they may be. I live by my own code of honesty, integrity, and respect for all that live in our environment. I have lived my life in service to God, my family, my community, and my nation. I don’t see that changing any time soon. I live in Fairfield, PA with my wife Kathy and our two “fur kids” Mac and Ginger, our long-haired dachshunds. My wish for you dear reader is that you find peace, prosperity, and safety in your world.       Thank You For Reading My Book!
