About
Hi there! Welcome to the Jungle…The Jungle of Life…that is!
Who Am I? Well… let’s see
- Husband to my lovely wife (for 15 years) – she’s the cute one in the picture!
- Father of three school-aged children – they keep us on the go!
- Information Technology manager for a small company – we’ve got bills…and hey, I like it…
- I make my home in the midwest United States – bring on the snow, we’re ready!
- In my spare time I enjoy working out, biking, hiking and a good game of basketball against my kids (the good game of basketball is getting tough – they’re getting too good!)
So what is “The Jungle of Life”? Good question… Life can seem like a jungle sometimes, overgrown with all the “things” that are in our life. The animals that consume us (debt, busy-ness, work, family, etc) lurking around every corner. Here at “The Jungle of Life” I’m looking for you to walk through this jungle with me as I look at ways to tame this jungle we call our lives. Join me on the journey as we discover more about who we are and what makes us each unique.
Am I an expert in any of this? I have no formal training in either personal finance or personal growth, two areas that will be covered here. What I do bring to the jungle is a lot of practical experience, years of trial and error, and a desire to share that with you.
How do I contact you?

Hi Lance,
I just wanted to drop by and say that the jungle of life is a great analogy. It’s great to see that your doing well. I’ll be coming here more often!
Thank you,
AJ Kumar
Lance, I like your attitude. Life should be fun. I look forward to reading more about you and your adventures in the jungle.
Lance,
We’ve got ya beat! We have 5 kids, all at home, and ‘jungle’ is an understatement. Especially, on those freaking sports Saturdays when 3 (or more) of the kids have games two cities apart!
@AJ – Thanks for stopping by AJ! Looking forward to connecting.
@Patricia – Spiritual Journey of a Lightworker — Welcome to this jungle Patricia, it’s great to have you here!
@Joe – Five kids, you DO have a jungle!! And I completely understand what those Saturday mornings can be like!! Come back here anytime.
This is an exceedingly humble “About” you post. I did not know that you had no formal training in the areas that you write about. You are exceptional in your insight, compassion and vivid vitality. I am impressed with your ability to speak from your heart. You have encouraged me more times than you could possibly know. I think some of the wisest people have had no formal training. They have learned and continue to learn through life experience, where learning becomes imprinted in the entire being: the body, soul, spirit and mind….not just the mind. It is what makes them stand out. It is what makes them connect on a gut level to people living their lives in the trenches. There is something “gutsy” about their truth and wisdom. They are not merely spouting something they read; they speak from their heart and soul and it is pure and shines like a forest after summer rain…when the sun comes out.
What a nice site!
@Robin – Thank you, Robin, for this. Your words, as always, hold deep meaning for me. Having you traveling along on this journey is a gift…
@Jannie – Hi Jannie! Eye’m glad to see you here today. You’re awesome, my friend…
Up early and read the unconditional love post through twiiter @serene_balance. I will be keeping up with you in the future. I also have 2 kids in 2nd and kindergarten and have a busy life. Really needed to read that today. Thanks!
Christy – It’s so good to have you here. And know that you’re always welcome here, in whatever way works for you. I know that having young children can lead to some very busy days as a parent. It’s so worth it, though. Thanks again!
Hi Lance,
And furthermore, I will keep following your website, it is relaxing to see the beautiful pictures and the lyrics are simply stunning. I am so glad I found your blog.
First of all, you both are cute!
BTW, that picture of Bart van Damme, on January 20th, 2010, is that taken in the Netherlands? I am from the Netherlands, and the name van Damme is Dutch and the picture looks like a place I lived nearby.
Hi Ellen,
Thank YOU!! And you are super kind! It’s great having you here. And that picture…it’s one from Flickr, so I didn’t really know the origin until you asked. And guess what? You are GOOD!! That gentleman who posted the pictures is from the Netherlands! How cool!!
