Bio

I was born and raised in Columbus, MS, graduating HS in 1968. I enlisted in the Navy in January 1969, serving as a Boatswains Mate until 1973. I cross rated to Engineering Aide that year and served in that capacity until retiring, June 1989. Since then I worked for Engineering or Construction firms in a technical or management capacity, retiring February 2012. Married with two children.
