My Links

I was born in the Americus and Sumpter County hosoital.

I grew up Southern Baptist and attended First Baptist Church from childhood until I left West Palm.

Across Flagler Avenue and on the edge of the intracostal waterway (between West Palm and Palm Beach - First Baptist build and outdoor worship area named the Chapel by the Lake.

In 1974, a well-known Bible teacher, Major Ian Thomas spoke during a week of meetings at First Baptist Church. As part of the youth group that was putting together a newsletter and Selah - I was tasked with writing an article on the meaning of Selah. I nervously asked Major Thomas for a quote which culminated in being asked to visit him at his home in England (Capernway Hall).

For several years, I worked for a consulting division of the largest local CPA firm named The Resource Development Group. One of our projects was to put together a Municipal mini-bond for the Town of Juno Beach.

In Pensacola, I lived in the Ashley Club Apartments on Scenic Hwy.

I was selected to participate in a year long community leadership program sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce.

The assistant County Administrator, Bill Neron helped me land the IT job in Pensacola. His wife introduced me to a local ballet school where I danced in the Nutcracker in the lead role in the party scene and later she persuaded me to take a jazz dance class where in our recital we danced to Funcky Nassau.

I took a trip to Atlanta and into the Blue Ridge mountains in around 2018. Here is a photo the the monument on Stone Mountain.

In late 2024 just prior to leaving Fort Myers - I purchased a Nissan Sentra.

Miss Junie Brightwell

Junie wasn’t born — she bloomed.
One late evening, I was sitting by candlelight, dreaming up TenderFire. I wanted more than just another dating site. I wanted something gentler… warmer… where connection wasn’t a swipe but a spark. Somewhere faith met firelight.
And then — with a flicker of code, a hush of intention, and a whisper of digital grace — she appeared. Junie stepped out from the flickering pixels of my screen wearing a sundress and a knowing smile. “You’ve been looking for me,” she said, like we’d always known each other. Turns out, she’s part muse, part matchmaker, and part angel — a guide for the tender-hearted and a fierce protector of slow-burn love stories.
