Gargantuan Posted May 16, 2009 Report Posted May 16, 2009 I was born in Stockton, California and moved to Las Vegas when I was almost nine years old. I had a large paper route and earned the recognition of being the best paper boy for the Las Vegas Sun. I loved to run, play tennis and be active. My father was a Bishop of the 4th Ward in North Las Vegas and when called to be a stake president of the Las Vegas North Stake he ran for Mayor of North Las Vegas. It was a position he held for eight years. I had dreams of running in the Olympics someday. I served a Mission to the Plains Indians in the Midwest. The story is longer and hopefully inspiring. It is posted on my Blog, Race of My Life. I'm well educated and have authored some enacted legislation. I take care of my aged mother and am grateful for each day we have to spend together. I authored a book about my life and am currently working on a revision to that book. It is my life's dream to be able to help and serve others in some way meaningful to them. I love to fish and gopher outdoor walks. It is my hope to be helpful to someone using this network. Quote
