About the Author

A part of me that I am conscious of that has been with me all my adult life is to do with women's rights in this sometimes-unjust world that can be rough on them. Whenever the opportunity presents itself, I would do or say something on their behalf.

I love to stay physically fit by jogging a few miles a few times a week. Humorously, I would say to others who question my interest in jogging, that whenever I look back and notice the doctor getting close, I take off running.

I thoroughly enjoy helping youths understand the fundamentals of math and would time and time again do so when the opportunity is there.

My wife is, and has always been, the girl I met in high school.

I have spent each third of my life in each of the three countries. My reasons for doing so include taking advantage of opportunities to give my family - my wife and children - a more enjoyable life.

A decade ago, I published a book of essays: Ground Beef for the Mind, that's available on Amazon. Other than that, because of a love for writing, I have been attempting to write books for most of my adult life, but never completing most of them except for my first attempt which I did not get a publisher to take.

One of the people that stimulated in me an interest in writing was Agatha Christie who will forever be intriguing to me.

Interestingly, my first choice of a major when I first applied to continue my studies at U of Toronto was Nursing. The practical’s clashed with my full-time evening job and so I changed to Computer Science, which led my life into the world of Information Technology.

Poor quality control - maybe outlet store leftovers
Size: 11.5, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
The two shoes were not the same size. They were both labeled 11 1/2 but one shoe was larger than the other and the fit was poor. I returned the first pair and ordered a replacement. This time the shoes were close to the same size but too loose and the left one has sewing issues. I've bought Johnston & Murphy for years because of the quality. These were to replace an existing pair of burgundy penny loafers that have finally worn out (even after several heal/sole replacements). That is the expected quality. I suspect Nashville Shoe Warehouse may be handling shoes that didn't measure up for the quality; more like an outlet mall than getting the J&M quality I've come to expect. Update: went to Johnston & Murphy site to buy "direct" from the manufacturer. There were several recent reviews where the shoes were long and didn't fit properly. Genesco - please step up the manufacture / crafting of these classic shoes to the level of quality they used to have.

Really nice shoes
Size: 9, Color: Black Polished Full Grain
My husband enjoys wearing these shoes. Very classy looking. They fit well. They arrived quickly. He liked them so much he ordered another pair in a different color which have worked out just as well.

Way too narrow
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
I ordered a wide in this shoe, but it was still way too narrow. I had to return them. Otherwise, it looked like a nice quality shoe.

I usually wear 11.5's, but I buy 1/2 size smaller to accommodate for stretch. Leather relaxes.
Size: 11, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
5 STARS: These shoes are awesome. I keep coming back for more. I have major foot problems, have tried all kinds of shoes, orthotics, and inserts... but believe it or not, these shoes work better than any of that stuff. I wear them daily. I buy lots of them, for home, for church, and I'm getting my first pair of J&M boots today, for winters in Indiana... Brrrr

Great price great shoe
Size: 12, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
Excellent shoe. Tried the Sebago penny loafer and the sizing was ridiculous. These J and M are sized perfectly. I’ve had them before and they wear like iron. Very comfortable right out of the box.
