 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

Enjoying retirement on our family homestead in Washington State; In 2016, had to step down as Executive Director/Secretary/webmaster for the Marine Corps Engineer Association due to family healthy issues. After Diana passed away in March 2019, I moved to Spring Texas. Went back to volunteering with MCEA as Permanent Associate Director. In November 2019, elected to the Board of Directors and as Executive Director for Future Operations Base; a Houston non-profit assisting active duty military, veterans, first responders and eligible family members. In February 2020, became a foster dad to Honor, a yellow Lab, in support of The Rescue for PTSD and served as their Vice President and Prez. In October 2020, joined a start-up non-profit, WARRIORS EMPOWERED, as Executive Director and Board Member. In 2020, perchased acreage in WA and began developing it for the family. Moved to here in 2022 and now 10 of us family, 4 generations living on the property.
