Born in Seminole, OK. We moved at least twice annually, and ranged all 
over Oklahoma, some of TX, AZ, NM and a bit of CO. When I was 10 we 
moved to Anchorage, AK and stayed about six years. We returned to OKC 
long enough for me to graduate high school and then off to Shawnee (50 
miles east) for a BA in Religion at Okla. Baptist Univ. Wandered a bit 
trying to save for seminary, but never made it. Served in the US Army 
twice: Ft. Lewis, WA & Bamberg, Germany; then Schinnen, The Netherlands 
until I got hurt (messed up knees). I was ordained during the break in 
service (1982). Tried my hand at public school for five years and 
quickly learned to hate it, though I loved the kids dearly. Lived in TX 
awhile doing nothing much except learning Linux and FreeBSD, while 
leading music at a tiny country church. Moved back up to OKC to escape 
Hurricane Rita and never went back.

My father grew up on the fringe of the Romachill community, the remnants 
of the "oil field trash" from the 1920s. That accounts for moving so 
often. That we stayed anywhere for as much as six months placed us on 
the fringe of that community. Most of them still move every couple of 
months, as do most his cousins and their descendants. My mom came from a 
family who were patrician Southerners from around Atlanta, but whose 
fortunes were devastated in the War Between the States.
