Carl's Story
High School? Yeah, well... I managed to live through it. (smiles)
Did 2 tours active (8 years) plus 2 years reserve in the Navy. Hospital Corpsman (medic), primarily Trauma / Surgery (Naval Hospital San Diego), Independent duty (submarines)and Field Medicine (combat medic). Certified Advanced Paramedic. After that, cowboyed awhile(who da thunk it) near Dallas then back to Baytown.
Been in the petrochemical industry ever since (27 years). Now a Marine Terminal Operations Supervisor (looking forward to retirement).
I have a son and 2 grandchildren! (How cool is that?!)
Recently bought 12 acres and a house in Leon County near where my mom was born. My wife and I divide our t...Expand for more
ime between here and there. Perhaps in a year or two we can abandon Baytown for good : )
I enjoy motorcycle touring on my Harley Ultra Classic (ridden all the states) and working with my hands. I hold a FAA Private Pilot certificate and FCC (General Class) Amateur Radio Operator license (K5CWC).
Life is good and I can't wait to start the next adventure!
Take care, y'all!
Update:
Now medically retired after 7 months in the hospital and 30 years with the company. Taking it easy still recovering. My wife passed away during my hospital stay so I'm looking to sell the place in Leon County. Just not the same now. Nothing to do but find a new trail to take toward the future...
