Military Service History

I served in the Reserves during Desert Storm, 90-91. Visited several countries in the Middle East.
I taught trainers about the DEPMEDS we were using during my service era and participated in national conferences such as 'Medical Ethics On The Battlefield.'
Initially when I joined I became a helicopter mechanic on Chinooks and Hueys' .I was thinking of becoming a flight surgeon.

Tell us about yourself

I volunteer to help Veterans and their families through the VFW. My reward is in the giving. I am looking to make sure we recognize all veterans in Missouri and none of us fall through the cracks.

My family is important to me. The grandchildren are the 'icing.' The photo is at my son's wedding.

Interests and hobbies

I ride my harley (883), travel off the beaten path, family gatherings, nfl football (neice was a KC cheerleader), eat seafood, yardwork, remodeling the house. My biggest sense of contentment is being in the company of people 'who get it.'

Memberships in other organizations

none.
