Six years before writing Financial Recovery I became single parent of a twelve year old son. Teaming up with a professional nurse practitoner, a divorced mother of three including a boy my son's age.

I launched a successful financial business. Scheduling two training classes and one public seminar weekly, I helped more than two dozen appointed agents to properly handle life-insurance, annuities, and worthwhile unregistered tax sheltered investments (before the IRS' TEFRA tax law).

I moved to Sarasota, Florida to reconnect with my brother who had earned a PHD in geology (Dr. Rock). We had nearly ten years together again before his death from cancer.

I spent evenings for six years at the Cook Library of Florida State University's nearby New College until its 1:00 a.m. closing time. When the digital information revolution arrived I bought a Personal Computer and spent hours figuring out how to use it by studying the book, DOS for Dummies.

I was able to create an early online networking resource (1992), The Email Club, for more than four thousand persons in over fifty countries.

After teaching myself to write HTML code I built The Big Eye, an educational website. It appeared in Newsweek Magazine (Nov. 20, 1995). That website and I also received national publicity in syndicated full page major newspaper articles.

By studying Google's algorithms I launched profitable affiliate marketing. For four years an assistant and I trained mortgage brokers throughout Florida to appropriately use HUD's HECM reverse mortgage before the real estate market crashed in 2008.

I was recruited by Gordon Duff, Senior Editor of Veterans Today, as a columnist. Thirty-four of my columns were published over ten years (2007-2017), some of which I have retrieved and placed on a website of collected essys, BigEyeBlog.com

After easily passing FINRA's Series65 financial examination I registered Wisebird Financial, LLC

I would like to meet an unattached mature lady in the Sarasota area who loves classical music, has a sense of humor, and values civilized companionship.
