 Additional Information
What are you doing now:


Welcome to my site. Feel free to look around. I've posted many stories under all of the units I served with. I've tried to be as honest as possible and only stated what I remember to be the truth.
I had alot of fun in the Corps even though it didn't seem so at the time. I wasn't the best Marine but I was by no means the worst. It was the best time of my life.
If any of you out there remember me, feel free to get in touch. I'd love to reconnect.
Drop me a note if you stop by. I love hearing from Marines.

This is what I'm doing now

PLC programming for automated production lines. It turns out I'm a natural for this sort of thing. Who knew? I've been doing this type of programming since 1985. Prior to that I was an electrician and had my own contracting firm until a divorce broke that up. It happens. I finally finished getting my engineering degree in 2001.
