I was born in a The Dalles Oregon in 1961. I am the second to the youngest of nine children. I attended St Mary’s Academy, Chenowith Middle School and Wahtonka High School and moved way from home at eighteen years old to enlist in the United States Air Force. I served my country with honor for over twenty years and traveled the globe extensively. During and after my military career I earned an associates and bachelors of Science degree in Criminal Justice. Two years after my retirement from the United States Air Force, I returned to my hometown of The Dalles Oregon and later moved to Manila, Philippines. In January 2006, my wife and I returned to The Dalles Oregon, later selling our home in Antelope California. My wife and I now live in The Dalles Oregon and spend the winter months in Manila, Philippines.
By following the hyper-links, you can get an idea of what military life was like for me. You may also notice many of the military bases I once was assigned to, no longer exist. Many of the bases were closed and hopefully are being used in other productive ways. My military assignments are as follows:
