Comments:

After graduation from FVHS I attended Southern Illinois University, majoring in administration of justice. Also was in ROTC all 4 yrs graduating and getting my commission as a second lieutenant in 1973. Navigator school at Mather AFB in Sacramento,CA. Next was Korat Royal Thai AFB, from '74 - '75, flying AC-130's, where I also met my wife and got married. Next I was transfered to Charleston AFB, SC, flying C-141 Starlifter. In 1979 I was transferred to Camp New Amsterdam, Netherlands, as the officer-in-charge of the base command post. Was there until 1982, when I went to Travis AFB, CA, flying C-5 Galaxy until 1985, when I came to Florida to finish up my 20 yr career, back in the AC-130, retiring in 1993.

Since retiring from the AF, I've tried my hand at cabinet making - which I loved, but my employer didn't pay squat, selling insurance, which, paid well, but I hated doing, teaching martial arts, which I loved, but took too much time away from home, installing flooring with my son, which I enjoyed until I had a heart attack and my knees started giving out. I worked for the county as a 911 fire and EMS dispatcher for a couple of years. Lastly I worked for the city as a police dispatcher, retiring in Oct 2014.

My daughter, well, step-daughter actually, was born in 1968 and has produced 4 grand children for me, and my son was born in 1977 and has another 4, giving us a total of 8 grands.

I am politically very conservative, and a very dedicated born again Christian. Additional education is a masters degree in theology from Liberty University, VA, completing that in 1991 while still in the AF.

I'm still happily married to my first wife, since 1975. We sold our house in 2020 and moved into our RV and now aimlessly wander around the North American continent.
