Mike Phippen
Born first of six into a strict Mormon family no doubt contributed to my rebellion and continued struggle to accept those in authority over me. I was a child of the sixties but unlike most boomers I was not at Woodstock. I was drafted the very month the concert took place, but so many my age claim to have been there and there's no way to prove they're lying! I have failed twice in starting a business mostly because I had no idea how to go about it. I managed to produce three children who I'm very proud of, and just recently became a grandfather. I've been fortunate in my chosen profession of sales to have traveled to many lands, and you'd be hard pressed to name a city in the U.S. with populations of 50,000 plus that I haven't visited. Traveling 60% of the time put me in unique situations at airports, subway platforms, bars, cabs, and encounters with women that were not only bizarre, but often bordered idiocy. I've been divorced 10 years, and uniquely qualified to comment on human behavior which of course most times is unexplainable.
