I was born and raised in the central Piedmont area of North Carolina. My Dad and Grandfather taught me how to hunt, fish, and respect the nature God gave us to enjoy and care for. I have always loved being outdoors. There, I feel closest to God in His beautiful creation that couldn't have happened by some chance.
I joined the Army in 1976 and retired early in 1988. I was stationed at the following installations: Fort Sill, OK; Bamberg, Germany; Fort Wadsworth, NY; Fort Monmouth, NJ; Fort Sam Houston, TX; Camp Casey (Tongduch'on, South Korea); Fort Lewis, WA; Fort Gordon, GA and returned to Fort Lewis where I retired with a medical disability.
I met my now-deceased wife, Theresa (Terri), in 1980 at Fort Sam, and we were married on July 1, 1981. I have two children, Jennifer and Christopher. After retiring from the Army, I moved to Sonora and Sunnyvale, California, for short stays. I then moved to Lompoc, CA, for a new job working for Ford Aerospace (later became Loral Aerospace). I worked there for two years as a Field Engineer in the Data Area. That was the best civilian job I've ever had. After being laid off, I went to work for Delco Electronics as a PC Technician. After nine months, the US Postal Service offered me a job in the Mail Processing Equipment Maintenance Mechanic position. I accepted the position, and about two years later, I was promoted to Electronics Technician. I retired from the Postal Service on January 2, 2003 with a disability.
Not long after my full medical retirement, my late wife, Terri, was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer. I stayed by her for nearly three years and gave her the best support possible. She passed away on April 30, 2006.
On April 21, 2009, I married Amy Christine on the beach sand at Pismo Beach, CA. We had a fun barefoot wedding with a few friends and family. We embarked on a yearlong RV trip across America shortly after our marriage. Ten months later, we returned to Vandenberg AFB to prepare our house in Lompoc for renting and continued full-time RV traveling for another 3.5 years. After we started having grandchildren, we returned to Lompoc for another eight years. In April 2022, we left CA permanently and sold our house. A few months later, we purchased 25 acres of land in the Ozarks of Arkansas. We live full-time in our Cyclone until our new home is built.
