Bio 

After my tour of duty in Vietnam, I was assigned to the 3rd Armored Cavalry at Ft. Lewis, WA where I was ordered to command L Troop in the 3rd Squadron for a years until, at the insistence of my now ex-wife, I reluctantly resigned my commission, spending the majority of my civilian career in medical devices sales, marketing and product development. Civilian retired in 2016.
