From the origin of my species or just from the day I was born? I'll keep it brief. Born in Chicago, grew up in a Florida home with three older brothers. Went to College in Ohio and married by wife years later. Been Married for 30+ years and have one son, three grandchildren. I live in Missouri by way of Iowa, Texas, Kentucky and Ohio. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I attend a fabulous church of my faith, a faith I have held since I was a teenager. I prefer to write about God in brief 500 word essays. I am, of my faith, called to teach. But I have a tendency to write fiction just to keep my writing skills up. I also prefer to write at readability score of 80+.
