Joined the Air Force in 1974. Stationed at Offutt AFB in Bellevue, Neb, became a crew chief rebuilding jet engines. Attended Iowa Western after leaving the USAF in '77, getting my aircraft mechanic's license in 1980. Moved to El Paso, Tx and worked for GE Government services maintaining and operating Soviet mobile radar systems used in military training. Many of the tactics used by our military in the Middle East were the same skills honed in live testing we participated in. Moved to Orlando, Fl in 1988, first employed by the Central Florida Transit Authority as training coordinator. Later left to be a Senior Technician with FedEx Express at the Orlando airport. Was married from 1976 to 1988. Had two sons, now 32 and 26 years old. They are rock musicians here in Orlando. The oldest is the guitarist and front man, the younger one is a really great drummer. The bands name is "Everyday Things". They can be found on the "My Space" website. Remarried in 1993, and while we didn't have any additional children of our own, we have possibly the most beautiful grand daughter in the world (though I may be biased!)

A: Re-Married in '92
Q: Any Children?
A: Two from previous marriage. Kevin (the guitarist) was born in Dec 1976. Keith (the drummer) was born March 1982

Q: What are your hobbies?
A: Ford Mustangs, music (both playing and listening), and landscaping / home renovation (on my house, of course)
Q: Favorite Movie(s) or type of movies?
A: Who has time to watch movies??? Maybe a comedy. Life's too short for violence or wistfull thinking.

Q: Favorite High School Memory?
