I retired in April 2011. I was honorably discharged from the US Navy in 1973 shortly after returning for Vietnam. I was wonderfully married to my gorgeous, intelligent and loving wife, Dale, for 27-years .. she passed away in 2007. I have a Associates Degree in Science. I have journeyed as a carpenter, tool and die maker, sous chef and spent the last of my professional years as a Maintenance Manager for various apartment complexes, an international hotel and a mountain lodge from which I launched my retirement. I am a classically-trained pianist and currently write, produce and perform. I love my Father/Mother God, the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy and Jesus, hiking in the mountains, my friends and family, video games, music creation, whitewater rafting and taking movies and pictures. I am a member of The Mother Church.
