Bio 

Married for 43+ yrs. to my best friend. I married well above my pay grade. I previously served from 1977 to 1986, 4 yrs. AD & 5 yrs. of reserve service. We have one son who is the Senior Pastor of Harvest Bible Chapel Philadelphia. With his wife of 10+ yrs. they have given us 4 wonderful Granddaughters. Retired from Dentistry. Did some Seminary training. Voluntary Chaplain at my church.

Military Experiences

Jul 1980 - Jul 1981
Fort Sill DENTAC
Dental General Practice Dentistry Resident
Trained & graduated from Dental Practice Residency. Next assignment was at the Hansa Allee Dental Clinic in Frankfurt, Germany where despite having 43+ dentists did not have an Oral Surgeon. I was given the opportunity to receive additional training in Oral Surgery procedures & administration of IV anesthetics to help manage more difficult surgical procedures. I was then given the position of Chief of the Oral Surgery Service at Hansa Allee until I left Active Duty in June of 1984. The next 24 yrs. I conducted a very successful private practice. I returned to AD September of 2008 because I felt it was time to give back for all the training & experience I received during my 1st stint on AD. I was stationed at Ft. Campbell & served 4 yrs there, except for my 6 month deployment to Iraq.
