Some of you have incredibly interesting lives. Next time you're in southern Utah, hit me up. I'd like to buy you a cup of coffee and visit.

Here are 5 things that I've been a part of that my friends haven't done.

1- Backsquatted 365 pounds at 45 years old. (Goal is 440 at 50 years old)

2- Seized more than 50 pounds of methamphetamine from a routine traffic stop. (Done this one more than once)

3- Interviewed homicide suspects.

4- Raised 7 children (2 of hers, 2 of mine, 1 of ours, and 2 adopted)

5- Watched my sons adopt children and grow into good men. My wife gets the credit for that one.

[Hunting Wife]

Shot 2 Montana unlimited rams


Jumped out of a helicopter onto the backs, wrestled, and tied up most western big game species


Spent time in 38 countries


Saw the sun rise from the top of an active volcano


In high school and while wearing a tux, I jumped from the roof of a mall onto the roof of a brand new Planet Hollywood. Found a hatch to an opening going into a storage room off the kitchen, and snuck into the grand opening party. Spent about an hour drinking beer and BSing with Bruce Willis. He introduced me to Arnold Shwarzenegger and Demi Moore, but I only spent a few minutes talking to them.

Your list is very 007

[Southern Elk]

I sat in a Dr’s office at 18 years old and listened to him talk about cancer survival percentages. I met the love of my life two months later. She gave me two beautiful kids. I’ve done some really cool things since then, but none of it really matters.

Hold my coffee....

Never mentioned the missing years. I quit drinking in 1989.
Somehow I never had a child, never was arrested and was never fired from a job.

Hiked the John Muir Trail twice and crossed the Sierra's in the middle on the Mono Trail, during winter.

Caught a 56lb Chinook. 3rd person to surf BC, 10' Tapaltas bay. Rode a inflatable into Cape Beal Lighthouse cove, in heavy surf, off the rocks, and did not loose a beer.

Drove my dad home from work and into a shootout between the DEA and a gang. Drug a wounded cop back behind my Ranchero and we did not get hit. Took 6 months for the trial and I was the witness that put the 3 gang survivors behind bars.

I do know surfing BC has gotten to be a thing.
The Bamfield area Coasties had been practicing rolls in HUGE waves out by the outer islands and stopped and just watched me for a while. I left my board with them when I left and said have fun.

I was only blonde until 5 & only semi-good looking...ever
