Dysfunctional Paradise

About

Hi –

Over the past 30+ years, my wife Tracey and I have navigated our journey through this life caring for our three sons. Each of our sons has their own unique challenges they face. These challenges have brought both pleasure and pain into our world over the years – but especially stress. The word “Stress” is defined as “a constant state of worry or mental tension caused by a difficult situation”. I can attest that this definition is 100% true.

I truly believe that the tremendous love my wife and I share for each other became the foundation that allowed our family to survive under difficult circumstances. It allowed us to create what I like to call a “Dysfunctional Paradise” – where family chaos was the norm; struggles were real; but love was everywhere.

Welcome to Our Dysfunctional Paradise

Hi – I’m Johnie. For almost 40 years, my wife Tracey and I have weathered life’s ups and downs while raising our three sons—each with their own unique challenges. The journey has been filled with joy, pain, and a whole lot of stress. And yes, the textbook definition of stress? We’ve lived it.

But through it all, the deep love Tracey and I share became our anchor. It’s what helped us build what I call a “Dysfunctional Paradise”—a home where chaos was constant, struggles were real, but love never wavered.
