Alternating Mirrors...

This decades-long online journal may seem extensive, but it reflects a full and active life of professional, technical, and creative work. In addition to the About Us history, I was also fortunate to serve as a Verizon Special Services Technician and later Plant Engineer. Prior to and during said time, we rehabilitated our first home, built our second brick home and its adjacent  garage, and later constructed a large, dedicated vintage garage facility.

Concurrently, over a four-year span, I traveled extensively for Verizon throughout the Northeast and Canada while also restoring vintage automobiles. These restorations and friendly encounters ultimately led to the successful representation of West Virginia and the United States in Canada, Germany, Italy, Austria, and Hungary. Through this work, I received ten National Awards and three International Awards across nine different vintage vehicles. This personal history is included not as a point of pride, but to provide context: while this online journal may appear extensive, it is not disproportionate when viewed against the scope of the work, responsibilities and life outlined above.

1). About US

As I scramble to regain my balance, the cacophony of questions threatens to overwhelm me, I feel the weight of the moment pressing down. Every reporter is eager for a sound bite, a glimpse into my thoughts, their voices blending into a frantic buzz. With a deep breath, I center myself amid the chaos, determined to navigate this storm.
 
2). We Stayed

In a heartwarming display of community spirit, West Virginia locals banded together to aid a distressed foreign couple, setting off a chain reaction of unexpected adventures that transcended borders. Their generous hospitality not only offered the couple immediate relief but also ignited a whirlwind of cultural exchange where locals would also introduce them to the breathtaking landscapes and traditions of Appalachia. This serendipitous encounter blossomed into a series of excursions that intertwined our journeys, fostering lifelong friendships and a deeper appreciation for the diverse tapestry of human experience that bridges continents.
 
3). The Wild West

As the tension in the classroom escalated, frustrated students began to direct their mounting Internet frustrations toward the instructor, demanding clarity on the Internet Business Applications. Whereas, I had made the mistake of informing said PHD Instructor that we had a fully functioning website, that was termed only second to a then other Book Seller called Amazon. (Please, it was all new). In an unexpected turn, the instructor redirected their inquiries to me, hoping I would provide insight or guidance, (as to get the heat off of him). However, the weight of their collective desperate angst taught me a valuable lesson about the importance of discretion, vowing to think twice as to avoid similar situations again. In any regard, the calls to our home began.
 
4). Dreams

As anticipation grew, casual onlookers couldn’t help sharing their excitement, declaring how eager they were for our next automotive masterpiece. Whispers about our previous creations stirred up real admiration, and that energy fueled us. It pushed us to keep stretching the limits as we prepared our next work — something meant to leave a lasting impression on everyone who experienced it.

5).You've Have Represented Your County Well

Hearing the words “You have represented your country well” filled us with a powerful mix of pride and gratitude. It wasn’t just a nod to our individual efforts — it felt like a recognition of the collective spirit, values, and resilience our nation and state carries. Every step of that journey was guided by a deep respect for our homeland and a commitment to showcase its strengths and culture. That acknowledgment became more than a compliment; it was a reminder of the responsibility to keep inspiring others, to strive for excellence, and to carry forward the hopes and aspirations of those who came before us and those that would follow.

The Geopolitical Enters
   
The Politicized - 1999

Learning that all my unheralded, record-breaking corporate and learning institution records and achievements — along with the documents that proved them — had been sent to Verizon's Out-of-State Central Shredding Instead of Storage and Destroyed hit me with a wave of disbelief and frustration. Not to mention any and all Correspondences in regard to my July 1999 forward politicized medical  Years of hard work and dedication poured into reaching those milestones, it was deeply disheartening to realize that such meaningful accomplishments had been reduced to nothing more than shredded scraps.
   
 
The Christian Savant - 2013:

When Buddy's physician contacted the nursing home to clarify who had altered his diagnoses, he received a total lack of response, potentially raising questions about the continuity and accuracy of his Nursing Home medical care. The situation was further complicated by the nursing home’s subsequent sale to an out-of-state buyer, which could hinder access to medical records and impede communication.
