Since WL High I graduated from Purdue in 68 and then spent 5 Years in the Army as a Officer.  I got the opportunity to jump from about every plane the Army and Air Force had during the 5 Years , in addition to seeing a lot of the world and learn a great deal about leadership in difficult situations.

Following my attempt to keep the world free of oppression , the last 36 Years have been spent in Commission Steel Sales.  This has been an interesting , challenging and profitable venture. On the 1st of July of this year I will be going to a 50 % retired status and finally in June of 09 will completely retire.

Cindy & I meet at Purdue and now have been happily married for 41 Years on the 2nd of Sept this year.  We have 2 kids Paul (Going thru stage 4 Cancer (Lymphoma) at the present , but currently in remission.  Our daughter Julie adopted a little Chinese girl last July.  Anna is now 2 1/2 and the light of our lives.

We like to travel and explore and we go to Colorado every year for 3-4 Weeks in our Jeep Rubicon and drive the hardest trails that we can find.  In addition we enjoy picture taking and editing, gardening , all things computer (GEEK) , plus working constantly on the 12 acres we own on a private gravel road in Holly Michigan.
