I am a very proud gay man that has been living with HIV/AIDS for over 25 years. During this time my life has changed in so many ways some for the worst but mostly for the better.

During those 25 years I managed to get both my Bachelor of Arts in Communication with concentrations in Public Relations and Technical Communication and my Master of Arts in Communication from The University of Texas at San Antonio. I have held five different positions in three different employments with The University of Texas at San Antonio with almost 9 years of state service. I also gained and have kept a loving partner for over 21 1/2 years and we now live with our six dogs in the order they arrived at our home – Crissy, Little Bitty, Zailey, Stitchy, Marcy and Lucy!

I am so blessed with a most loving family to include my two sisters and their husbands; my three nieces and their respective husbands or boyfriends, and six of the most adorable great nieces with two great nephews that a great-uncle could ever have.

My interests include cooking, reading, playing with my dogs, and of course making sure that I am as healthy as possible after many years of being an alcoholic and addict. Yes, I am very open and honest about myself, and you never know what you will read on “My Rattled Cage”!!!!
