I was born and raised in the central Piedmont area of North Carolina. My Dad and Grandfather taught me how to hunt and fish and respect the nature God gave us to enjoy and take care of. I have always loved being outdoors. It is 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 July 1, 1981. I have two children, Jennifer and Christopher. After retirement from the Army, I moved for short stays in Sonora and Sunnyvale, California. I then moved to Lompoc, CA for a new job working for Ford Aerospace (later became Loral Aerospace). I worked there for 2 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 9 months I was offered a job by the US Postal Service for the position of Mail Processing Equipment Maintenance Mechanic. 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. For nearly 3 years I stayed by her and gave her the best support I possibly could. She passed away on April 30, 2006.
On April 21, 2009, I married Amy Christine on the beach at Pismo Beach, CA. We had a fun barefoot wedding with a few friends and family. Not long after our marriage we embarked on a yearlong RV trip across America. 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. We are back in Lompoc until the house is sold.
