Bio

I was diagnosed in 2008 with stage 3b Melanoma just above my left knee was a raised, wart like bump but before that for many years it was just a dark, asymmetrical mole which I wasn’t informed about so I didn’t do anything and I first saw my mole back in like 2001 2002ish.I personally don’t believe my case of cancer involves sun exposure but, my Dad was in the Vietnam War and was exposed to Dioxin better known as Agent Orange, a chemical designed to eat up the jungle so our troops can see the enemy…I love wood working, animals are my joy and love art..
