Here is a little something about me for you to connect with...
In my over 32 years of Army Infantry service I have been to five continents, served with over one dozen countries, served under the Australian Army in Afghanistan, and helped train Soldiers and Officers in Ukraine.
I am an introvert by nature and extrovert by trade and training.
There have been three horses in my life. My favorite was Comet, a Percheron cross that was over 17 hands and had hoofs the size of dinner plates. He would go weak in the knees if you found that special place on his withers to scratch.
I was 12 years old when Star Wars came out and saw it in a theater for my birthday.
Two years later I walked into our high school math lab that had just received the school's first computer and I was hooked.
I have sailed most of my life, and owned two sailboats. I lived on one for over a year while stationed in Coronado, CA (San Diego).
My favorite NFL team since the early 70's is the Miami Dolphins when Coach Shula had the likes of Csonka, Mercury Morris, Warfield, Little, Kiick, Griese and the "No Name Defense".
My first job at age 15 was for National Forest Service Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) clearing trails and building campgrounds in the Sierra National Forest. My grandfather had retired from the Forest Service and it was my other dream job.
Our family loves to travel, having been to more than 20 countries with plans to move to Europe in the future. Our 7 year old has been to a dozen countries and his favorite place is Rome.
