Biography

Born and raised in the Hayden-Winkelman area of Arizona, with a grand total of 34 people in my graduating class.  Wanted to serve my country and ended up staying for 20 years in the U.S. Navy.  Wanted to be a bar tender and had that privilege at the White Elephant Saloon in Fort Worth Texas for four years.  Wanted to be a police officer and fulfilled that need as my last 6 years were spent as Military Police duties.  My last goal was to be a truck driver which I just completed 20 years, the first 9 as a company driver and the last 11 as an owner operator.  My work got me to 44 states and for leisure, I traveled to Hawaii.  It was the New England states that I needed to complete with the exception being Connecticut.  I just took a road trip to complete the last 5 states and took advantage of having clam chowder in Boston, lobster in Maine.  I really enjoyed the scenic views in Vermont.  Last but not least, Montana is still my favorite with Utah coming in at a very close second…
