About Me (In My Own Words)
A couple years ago I was diagnosed with aortic valve stenosis/ bicuspid valve. Watched and waited, and now, although still asymptomatic, my stenosis has advanced to critical, so I have scheduled surgery for August 24.
I live in beautiful Boone NC, with Helen, my wonderful wife of 37 years. We have one son, one granddaughter and another one on the way by the end of October. While I’m not looking forward to this journey, I’m certainly ready to get it over and move on with the rest of my life. My support group includes family and friends, including a friend/coach who went through the same surgery last October.
