I am a 77 year old male who, on most days, feels 87 because of peripheral neuropathy and lower back surgery. I’m retired from 27 years in banking and 20 years in the non-profit world and a 4 year stint in the US Air Force in between. Until recently, I’ve e been a touring motorcyclist since leaving the Air Force having traveled in all of the lower 48 states with my bride of 40 years. My surgeries and neuropathy forced me to hang up my motorcycle keys and return to the madness of four wheels.

We are a blended family with my wife and I each bringing two children to our union. We have eight grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

We live in Sandy Springs Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, where my wife and I were both born. I look forward to learning from my participation in this group and, perhaps, sharing what I have learned about living with chronic pain with other members here.
