George Washington KneelingWelcome to Gonzo's Garage!  Lots to see here!  this is literally a "garage" full of things like my Mayflower Heritage pages, my Go Navy! page, the preparedness page, and the self-defense page. I retired from my "second career," which was in the cyber security biz, and am now back at my former stomping grounds in South Dakota and concentrating on teaching part time to coach up the next generation of cyber-security warriors.  I am also concentrating more on activities that are geared toward honoring God, protecting liberty, and preserving the rich heritage and founding principles of America.  You can always feel free to donate to this "poor street performer" at any time by visiting my donation page.

Read about the awesome power of God, and how He has touched my life in this special story.

The Values I Hold Precious:  Preserving the principles of our nation as a Godly nation, and as set forth in our founding documents The Declaration of Independence and The U.S. Constitution must be paramount in priority of our lives.  I believe in keeping God in our schools, and I believe in protecting the lives of the un-born.  Defending our great heritage in firearms (The Second Amendment) and fostering the vast greatness that America has to offer must be our life's endeavor.  The picture of George Washington on one knee, praying, is by far my favorite painting in the world, as it captures those very ideas.  It's a call to all of us to remember who we are as a country, and do all that we can to help our fellow Americans.  Excellence and American exceptionalism are part of our heritage.  Self sufficiency and moral responsibility are the very fiber that holds us together.  Standing up as a nation of armed citizens is what keeps us free.  And as Dr. Martin Luther King taught us: content of character is more important than the color of one's skin.  America is great because America is GOOD!

A little about me:  After spending a 20-year career in the US Navy, 6 years teaching full time, and 18 years in the cyber-security biz, I am now retired and have dedicated my retirement years to helping families as a financial coach.  My passion is to help families with budgeting, getting out of debt and planning for retirement.  I also spend my free time prepping, going to the shooting range, writing blog articles, and teaching CERT training courses.  I am an NRA Certified Firearms Instructor (Pistol, PPiTH, RTBAV), US Concealed Carry Association Affiliate Instructor, and an NRA Certified Range Safety Officer.  I am a trained and qualified instructor and member of the Fort Collins Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), graduate of the Larimer County Sheriff's Office Citizen's Academy (and Alumni Association Member) and have completed numerous courses in Incident Command Systems practices and procedures.  Emergency preparedness and finding ways to protect my community are a big part of my life, and I am always looking for ways to encourage community preparedness.  If you would like to read more about my personal and professional careers and experiences, please see my resume.

 

Submitting to God worked the first time we tried it!  Let's get back
to our founding principles and submit to Him again!


"
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."

  - Galations 5:1
