​Well there I was….. having a beer with Chris Westerdahl on the beach in Galveston, TX at the Brick House Tavern and Tap, on November 2 2022, when he says “are you a turtle?” To which I replied “no” and the next thing I know he said “we’ll be ready to have your life changed” and dug into his wallet….and the rest is still a mystery!!!

Well not so much a mystery really, actually a simple google search will land you hundreds of websites dedicated to educating about the Ancient & Honorable Order of Turtles.  But to get the most out of the initiation its best to learn it from a Turtle! 

I look forward to doing everything I can to become a Master Imperial Turtle!   That means that I will be responsible for initiating 500 members into the Turtle Club.  

So join me as I head on this journey to initiate 500 Turtles!  

​I will be documenting my journey in the comments below.

2.) One of the best friends I have had in my life since I was 13 years old! Someone I look up to....well not really because I am taller than he is, but definitely someone I respect!
