The Ukulele Dude Information (Person)
Biography Information (Person)
An avid ukulele player, I have contributed to a dozen or more articles related to the instrument, gotten a number created, and plan on providing many more! I have had the honor of meeting, listening, and learning from some of the top ukulele players in the world and have studied the history carefully. I have created a book called Unlock Your Ukulele that shares seven years worth of workshops and reading into a handy reference for the ukulele player. You can see more of it at The Ukulele Dude.
- Philatelist who has exhibited on a national level. APS and ATA
- Eagle Scout, Boy Scouts of America - Brotherhood - Order of the Arrow
- Aggie as in a graduate of Texas A&M type Aggie. Yeah, boots and everything!
- Six years on active duty with the US Navy as an Unrestricted Line Officer Served on the USS Tacoma (PG-92) as Chief Engineer, the USS John Rodgers (DD-983) as Communications and Personnel Officer and with 1st Battalion 10th Marines as a Naval Gunfire Liaison Officer.
- Attorney at Law
- Black Belt - Shōrin-ryū Shidōkan
- Author - Several mysteries, including The E-mail Murder, Mystery on Woodward, and Miss Terri of the Roller Derby.
I consider myself a jack-of-all trades and master of some.
I have a very large collection of memorabilia regarding Gladys Swarthout, a distant relative, and my online biography of her is the primary reference for the material in her article here on Wikipedia. I also maintain a website on the Swarthout family with history and genealogical information.
