Public Health Matters (pandemics, etc.): I keep my vaccinations up to date. I look to science & health care professionals for health & public safety info. I follow Federal CDC, State, & local guidelines regarding facemasks, social distancing, etc. I will gladly wear a mask as needed when indoors or close quarters, to project meetings, &/or when entering clients’ homes… or at any time it is requested. It does not bother me at all to wear a mask. I want us all to be safe.

Music:

I am a serious music lover. I’m a “former drummer”, meaning that I’ve played drums off & on throughout my life…nothing serious, just as a hobby. I’m also crazy in love with electric guitars. I’ve built & hot-rodded a few…never learned to play much (yet), but I love tinkering with them. I’ll add more music content here soon, with some photos & audio.

Photos with various musicians I’ve met over the years: Rock Star Photo Album

Here’s a running list of the concerts & bands I’ve seen: Billy’s Concert List

Tattoos:

I have several. Unless I am wearing long sleeves past my wrists, you will see them. If this is an issue for you, let’s please don’t waste our time. Fair Warning…

I am a lifelong Boston Terrier lover. Here’s a photo with my previous Boston, Scrappy Doo. He joined me after I lost my previous Boston, Melvin… at age 12+, during the pandemic. I arranged to spring Scrappy out of a shelter in Texas in early 2021 at age 6. We only had 4 years together. I was hoping for longer, but seizures, likely a brain tumor, took him out. Rest in Peace, my sweet Scrappy. He was unlike any dog or any other Boston I ever met. The red ones are extra special. I miss him like crazy every day. melvin, too.

On 1/12/25, I drove up to Tennessee & kidnapped (re-homing/adoption) this beautiful boy, Brody. He was born in August of 2024, just ahead of Hurricane Helene. He was just 5 months old when he joined me. Brody is the new Operations Manager at BEARNEST Enterprises… and we are so screwed! heehee He’s a good boy, but quite a hand full. The puppy life is wearing me out… I hope we have many, many years together.
