Bio 

I had been searching for work for several years with no luck. I've used the VA, voc rehab as well as several State and private agencies and got nowhere. Recently the VA upped my disability to 100% because of unemployability. Now I'm learning to cope with that as well. Performed insurance work for the offshore energy industry. Gained custody of my children and became an IT Manager then an independent consultant. Went to college to try to get back into the marine industry. Since then have had no luck.
