My name is Harvey Everson. I was born in Seattle, Washington and raised there. I was a typical boy growing up. I had a paper route from grade school into high school. I graduated from Roosevelt High School and took combat Karate Judo. After high school I joined the Marine Corps during the Vietnam Conflict in 1968. I received my black belt in Karate in Japan and fought in the International Karate Championships of the World at the Budokan in Japan representing the Marine Corps. After the Marine Corps I went to college. My wife and I had three children, one boy and two girls. I then went to work for Boeing for 22 years and retired as a Designer. I'm currently living in Auburn, Washington and writing Poetry.
