My name is Jake. Welcome to MY LIFE... I'm an open minded thinker, attempted photographer, attempted writer, attempted athlete 🤣. I love randomly making the poems and things I do. Written letters to the editor since 2011 (to my local paper).
-Methods to my madness-
Relationships and people are my life.
Bringing good people together is my goal.
FREEDOM EXTREMIST🤷🏻♂️ 🇺🇸 100% REAL, love me or hate me....I just want the conversations, from O-H-I-O, COFFEE and BURBON junkie, love Switzerland and our friends there (learning Italian and Spanish), I am a travel lover. Hard working, loyal, loveable, "Blue collar proud" - as Mr. Matt Hess calls me. Podcasts, football, American, Son, Uncle to the greatest lil dude. CMM programmer, CNC machinist, Repair man, CNC machine installer, QC lab technician, technology. Service engineer, maintenance guy, moron, who's still learning. 😁❤️
After avoiding death, I just love life, I'm very random, attempting to be funny and help others. I'm not Left or Right. "The older I get the more I become an extreme.... moderate".. I love meeting new people. Love conversations. I love learning new things. Leadership, Humanity, Scotch, Music, Movies...this list goes on.
Favorite quote:
"There are no strangers only friends I haven't yet met".
I live life by the THREE C's :Common Sense, Character and Conversations. IF you didn't use common sense then make a choice and change it . I live a simple life due to my T.B.I and my CHOICE to do so...your turn.
I’m old, tired, and extremely pissed off at the state of the world.
As a former truck driver, former licensed psychiatric technician, and a former navy corpsman, I have a take like no other and I’m not afraid to tell it like it is.
I guarantee that, if nothing, I’m going to, at the very least, ruffle some feathers.
I now do back work for a living while posting memes, essays, and comments on Minds in my off time and I’m really happy to be here.

Free thinker, nature lover, off grid web developer. I want all the pieces to the puzzle. Practitioner of hacker ethics. Program or be programmed. Don’t expect me to be an echo chamber for whatever box you’ve decided to put yourself in.
