I have been married to my wife Angie for 43 years and have a son, Bobby.
I served in the U.S. Air Force and obtained the rank of Staff Sergeant. I am a Viet Nam Veteran. While in the Air Force as a C130 crew member, I flew around the world visiting over 30 countries. While in Vietnam Nam I flew “Blind Bat” missions over North Vietnam Nam, Laos and Cambodia.
After my military service, while furthering my education, I started my career at American Aviation in Highland Hts, later became Grumman American Aviation. In 1976, I relocated with the Company (now Gulfstream Aerospace Corp) to Savannah, Georgia. I served in various Manufactuing Engineering, Project and Program Management positions over the years on the Gulfstream III, iV, V aircraft programs as well as the G500, G600 and G650 aircraft programs. I retired in August 2016 after 44 years with Gulfstream. We live on Talahi Island, just a few miles from Tybee Island, Georgia and the Atlantic Ocean.
