Bio 

I was born in Albuquerque, NM, and my family moved to Belton, Mo when I was 2. I grew up in Belton, a town about 80 miles south of Kansas City. I went into the Corps right after high school. My first duty station was at Camp Pendleton, CA. I met my wife in Cali, and we have been married ever since (35 yrs). We have 2 kids and 5 grandkids and now live in Texas. What a great state to be in.
