So where am I from?
I
am originally from South Africa haling from the sun kissed beach city of
Durban (otherwise known as the "Last Outpost of the British
Empire"). I have also lived in Namibia, and traveled to Britain,
Europe, USA, South America and Asia several times.
In
1997 I moved to the United States. Why? Well, a woman of course, why else
would one move 15,000 miles to a new home away from one's friends and
family, to a "foreign" culture? |

Where do I live?
On
March 28, 1998 Wendy and I were married on Goose Rocks Beach,
Kennebunkport, Maine.
Since
then we have lived in Kennebunk - Maine, San Francisco and Los Angeles in California,
Phoenix - Arizona, Dallas - Texas (yeah, I know, so I move around a lot)
and now finally in the "small city on the river" Port Richey, Florida
where we have settled for good.
Florida
is, of course, the great melting pot of Commonwealth / American culture as
no one from Florida is actually from here!
Those not from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and |
|
|
other North East states, believe it or not, are from Britain. There are
more English expatriates per square mile in Western Florida than there are
anywhere else in the world. A great place to research American / English
culture. |
|
Settling in America All
this aside, I have settled into American life quite comfortably - I LOVE
my Ford Mustang convertible (I don't even want to begin to think what this
baby cost in South Africa!!) and God forbid, I have even begun to think in
American (hence this website being spelt in American English!!).
Hell,
just the other day my wife caught me saying that I was " fixin'
" to go to somewhere!
ARGH!! |

|
What do I do?
I
am content in my house on the water in New Port Richey, Florida where I work from
home as an independant web designer:
www.longmancomputers.com
and help my wife run our other company
Windsong Sailing Charters.
But
more than all, my most precious possession is my American wife Wendy!
