Joined the AF in 1974. I was stationed in San Antonio; Rantoul, Ill; Albuquerque, NM; Nothern Germany; Alexandria, LA; Rhein Main, Germany; Victorville, CA; and Panama City, FL. I was a heavy equipment mechanic, command and control specialist, training manager, training developer, instructor, Nuclear Weapons Custodian, and First Sergeant.

I retired from active duty in 1996 and went to work as a government contractor supporting the US Air Force, US Navy, Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, and Dept of Homeland Security. I've worked for Boeing/McDonnell Douglas, Visicom Labs, Advanced Systems Technology, and ARINC doing jobs ranging from computer programming, database developer, technical writer, and Instructional Designer.
