About Me

Grew up in Florida. Enlisted in the Air Force at 18. Retired as a Major almost 27 years later in 2000. I work for a defense contractor now in Hawaii. Married, but separated. I have three great kids, Tony (26), Michael (24), and Steven (20). Tony and Michael are married (to great(!) daughter-in-laws), and Steven's a student at UCF. One grandson, TJ. Currently I'm on contract to the Air Force at Hickam AFB, HI, to provide systems architeture technical advice. I live in Kaneohe, HI, less than a mile from the water. It's a tough life, but somebody's got to do it.
