About Me

I was born in Brooklyn and grew up on eastern Long Island. You may think eastern LI is just another part of NYC but it is actually a small town area. I graduated in a class of 49 from Eastport High School and then attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on a Navy ROTC scholarship.Following graduation I entered the Navy as an Ensign and went through Nuclear Power Training in Vallejo, CA and Idaho. My first submarines operated out of New London, CT - a missile boat in overhaul at Electric Boat and then an attack submarine. I then was transferred to Pearl Harbor where I served on the Submarine Force commander staff and served on another attack submarine.After 12 years on active duty, I decided to resign and relocated to the Washington DC area. I worked in submarine logistics support for the next twenty plus years until I decided enough was enough.Since then, I have made efforts in several entrepreneurial endeavors. As part of this, I have spent much time in personal development, working with coaches such as Jeffery Combs, and with T. Harv Eker's and Loral Langemeir's organizations. I have also had several years experience in small business income tax planning.My family is in two parts: my four children, all grown, three married, two with my three grandchildren; my wife and her son, also grown, married and three more grandchildren. We look forward to the day very soon when we will take off in our own RV and tour the US and Canada. Trips to the rest of the world are also planned.My blogs are posted at: http://netwebmarketer.com/beyondnormal/wordpress/ My articles are posted at: http://netwebmarketer.com/beyondnormal/articles.html
