Life Life, huh? I don't know if it's possible to put the last 45 years into 4000 characters, but here goes. After Perrine, I went to Cutler Ridge Junior and then to Palmetto. Not being the best student, I gravitated to the military and joined the USAF. Even though my father made a career of the Air Force, I chose to leave after one tour and I again became a civilian in 1976. Before joining the Air Force, I worked as a portrait photographer at Bryn-Alan Studios in South Miami where I'm sure many of you had your pictures taken. It was there that I met Jodi Warnack from South Miami Senior High when she came in to have her picture taken. We struck up a relationship and later that year (1976) we married. We played house for 2 years and then realized that we got married when we were way too young so we sold the house and moved on. I stayed single for the next 10 years but was once again smitten and in 1987 I met my second wife, Kelly. I was living in Washington, DC, at the time and shortly after we met I transferred back to Ft. Lauderdale. We had our first daughter, Roni, in 1988 and my son, Brian Jr., was born in 1992. Crazy Kelly turned out to be the "wrong woman" and in 1997 we separated. The divorce was finalized with me being awarded custody or our children, then ages 4 and 8. My 14-year-old stepdaughter, Nicole, also elected to remain with me so I became Mr. Mom. Another marriage came along in 2004, but once again it wasn't meant to be and I'm now in the process of becoming a single Dad once again. I sense a pattern... maybe it's ME!! :-) Anyway, I also have two great stepchildren from this last marriage... daughter Avery, aged 16, and Andrew, now 4. I think that I make a better boyfriend ...Expand for more
