Originally from central Iowa, I've lived in Tucson, Arizona since 1992 when the United States Air Force assigned me to the 41st Electronic Combat Squadron at Davis-Monthan AFB as a crew chief on specially modified EC-130H. Before that I was with the 667th Special Operations Maintenance Squadron stationed at RAF Woodbridge, England and was also a crew chief on a specially modified HC-130P/N aircraft.

After leaving military service I've worked in sales, technology, finance, and real estate. Now I work as a freelance business consultant for small and micro businesses. I love helping my clients solve problems.

In my spare time I explore digital photography using Southern Arizona as my backdrop with my Nikon D5600. I enjoy tent camping, hiking, and spending time with family.
