Bio
After a short tour on AD w/Navy '72-75, I returned to NAS Miramar in the reserves in '82... In '85 they asked for volunteers for active Recruiting duty in the OC, done! Then all the military bases (LongBeach,ElToro,Tustin) were shut down in '91; I left the Navy for the Army as they carved out a recruiting spot in the OC for us. So I retired from active duty in the armed forces (17yrs in Reserve Recruiting) in Nov '02. First Command Financial Planning was home til the bank fallout of '07, I left the insurance/investment business in '07, offered and finished up in the Federal Service USArmy MEPS Guidance Counselor retiring in '14. Bored, I went to school for Real Estate at Santiago Canyon for five semesters, however, no RE career for me at this age. Dejavu, I worked at Lowe's for a couple of years which is located on a former military base(MCAS Tustin) where I was stationed in 1985. Laurie has owned the Merle Norman Studio on Lincoln for thirty some years.
Our son Matt (Major Army Nat Guard) is a pilot (UH-60 Black Hawk) currently on active duty based at Los Alamitos. Matt lives in Orange with his wife and three children two girls and a boy. John Henry graduated from Bucknell University and is a Principal and Project Director at JRM Construction. They live in Ladera Ranch with their three children two boys and a girl. Allison works for the Orange County Transit Authority, and has been living back at home since 2013.
