HAPPY SERVING
I have spent 25 years or so in the pre-engineered steel industry in the service avenues of engineering, customer service, internal sales, and external sales. Most of my life has also been centered around ministry in various fashions. I have been a Music Director, Choir Director, Youth Minister, Sunday School Teacher, and Pastor. You do not spend that much time around people living life, and not learn a few things along the way. My training and core strength of analyzing people and processes has allowed me to see the character and work ethics of youngsters and seniors alike. I hope my sharing of this knowledge encourages you to lead by example with the most moral and astounding work ethic possible. I attended Oklahoma Baptist College, Oklahoma City, OK and Tri-State Baptist College, Memphis, TN. My stress relieving passion is bass fishing, but I also enjoy trout fishing for the beautiful scenery involved. The common phrase, "The tug is the drug" is true for me.

Heroes, Martyrs, and Political Messiahs in Revolutionary Cuba, 1946-1958
A leading scholar sheds light on the experiences of ordinary Cubans in the unseating of the dictator Fulgencio Batista In this important and timely volume, one of today’s foremost experts on Cuban history and politics fills a significant gap in the literature, illuminating how Cuba’s electoral democracy underwent a tumultuous transformation into a military dictatorship. Lillian Guerra draws on her years of research in newly opened archives and on personal interviews to shed light on the men and women of Cuba who participated in mass mobilization and civic activism to establish social movements in their quest for social and racial justice and for more accountable leadership. Driven by a sense of duty toward la patria (the fatherland) and their dedication to heroism and martyrdom, these citizens built a powerful underground revolutionary culture that shaped and witnessed the overthrow of Batista in the late 1950s. Beautifully illustrated with archival photographs, this volume is a stunning addition to Latin American history and politics.
Beaten But Not Defeated
Siegi Moos, an anti-Nazi and active member of the German Communist Party, escaped Germany in 1933 and, exiled in Britain, sought another route to the transformation of capitalism. This biography charts Siegi’s life, starting in Germany when he witnessed the Bavarian uprisings of 1918/19 and moving to the later rise of the extreme right. We follow his progress in Berlin as a committed Communist and an active anti-Nazi in the well-organised Red Front, before much of the German Communist party (KPD) took the Nazis seriously, and his deep involvement in the Free Thinkers and in agit-prop theatre. The book also describes Siegi’s life as an exile: the loss of family, comrades, his first langua...
Cuba in the Caribbean Cold War
This book argues that during the Cuban Revolution (1952–1958), Fidel Castro, his allies, and members of the Movimiento 26 de Julio tapped into a larger network of transnational revolutionaries who sought to overthrow the region’s dictatorships. With his research in multiple archives including those in Cuba, Prados offers a new, transnational perspective on conflicts over dictatorship and democracy, which shaped the Caribbean in the decades that followed World War II. The book traces the roots of the ‘Caribbean Legion’, a transnational network of anti-dictatorial revolutionaries, before detailing how Castro and many of his allies in exile exploited this web during the struggle against...
