I am the creator and main driving force for BBW Friendly.  BBW Friendly was conceived in August 1997 with a chat channel on Webmaster IRC server.  The Web Site came to life on November 22, 1997.

I was born February 1953 in Waco, TX.  I live between Northern California and Texas until 1969 when I moved to Southern California in the Los Angeles area, except for 8 years (1975-1983) while in the U.S. Navy.  I did Boot Camp in Great Lakes, IL; stationed on USS DULUTH (LPD-6) in San Diego, CA and stationed at NATO (AFSOUTH) in Naples, Italy. 

September 14, 2001 I had a stroke and spent 2 days in ICU and 3 days in a regular room in the hospital going through physical and occupational therapy.  I am back to normal except having to take medication for the rest of  his life. 

September 4, 2008 I had Open Heart Surgery (Quadruple ByPass Surgery).  The angiogram done on September 2, 2008 showed I has 3 blocked arteries and they took four veins out of my left leg.  I was told I was a walking time bomb and could have had a heart attack anytime.  I was in ICU for 4 days and spent one week in rehabilitation.  I was in the hospital for 3 weeks (August 29-September 18, 2008) and I am taking more medication for the rest of my life.

I separated from my BBW wife of almost 27 years as of May 14, 2005 and divorce was final as of January 29, 2008.  It is hard to believe but my daughter graduated from high school with honors in June 2008.  I am very proud of her, she did 9 years in a Catholic school and her 4 years in public high school is at the same school that I graduated from.  She is now attending a local community college.

November 2006, my mother had a very bad stroke that completely paralyzed her on her left side.  My father had a very mild stroke in late 2005.  In late July 2007, my mother was admitted to the hospital due to serious bed sores since my father could not take care of her.  A few days later my father had another mild stroke that put him in the hospital.  They were both put in a nursing home and Saturday, September 1, 2007 my father passed away.  My mother has dementia and has severe depression.

Sunday, November 11, 2007 (Veteran's Day) at Love Ride 24 in Glendale, CA I proposed to Julie.  We were on stage with Jay Leno in front of thousands of bikers watching me on my one knee asking Julie to marry me, of course, she said yes (three times thanks to Jay Leno). We were able to see it on the news later that night.

Saturday, February 14, 2009, Valentine's Day, Julie and I got married at the Riviera Hotel Chapel in Las Vegas, NV at 1:30 pm.  It was a beautiful wedding and was perfect in every way.  Jenna, Julie's 6 year old daughter, was the flower girl.  Amanda, Duane's 19 year old daughter, was the maid of honor.  Jeffrey, Julie's 16 year old son, was the best man.  That night we went to the Mirage to see Jay Leno and we took the proposal photo from Love Ride 24 with him in it.  We were able to go to his dressing room before the show and he autograph the picture.  Julie, Duane, Amanda and Brandon, Julie's half brother saw the show and he had an Air Force officer come on stage and he proposed to his girlfriend on Valentine's Day.

I am an ordained minister by the Universal Life Church (online) and have a church online: Church of Universal Love
