About Hank Hokamp
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
If you do wrong to people, you don't have the right to exist. Helping people is WHY we're here. At least it's my purpose of life. Why do people keep seeking humanism, nihilism and existentialism? Few seem to realize satisfaction. All humans are subject to death and Earth has not been cultivated into an earth-wide paradise. Perhaps it can be if we serve one another. I can't imagine a more satisfying life than using my free will to serve thy neighbor. Let's get started. It's 2009! Never allow the past to hold you back from enjoying a full life. What have you got to lose, except a heavy burden? Forgiveness is the key to moving forward, which is WHY it's on the right path to gaining insight. Love your authentic self even more than you did yesterday. YOU CAN DO IT!

Experience
Meeting all walks of life head on and learning from experience. Some people call me SOCIOLOGY! Sounds corny but ... it's better than some alternatives!

Organizations
Phi Delta Theta Fraternity; Noon Optimists; Paralegal Assns.

Publications
Champaign (IL) News-Gazette (Feature writer and City reporter); Galveston New-Tribune; Orlando Sentinel-Star et al.

Education/Credentials
Some 6 years of formal education.

Awards and Honors
46 athletic awards, mostly in baseball and golf.
