After High School I left Phoenix and worked on a Dairy Farm in Kentucky for two years. That was a big change in life style! After that I started College. Finish in 79. Worked in engineering for 12 years then switched to Aircraft Maintenance. Today I work for Cessna Citation Service Center in the Avionics Lab. This center is the largest Business Jet service center in the World. 450,000 sq ft of hanger space. I have been married twice. I raised My Daughter Linda from My second marriage as a single Dad. She is now 25 years old and an RN working in the Cardiac care unit. My Daughter gave birth to a Baby Boy November 19, 2008. He was 10 Lbs & 11 oz. His name is Sidney Bittner. There are pics of My daughter, Her Husband and the Baby in the Family Photo section. Now I am a Grandfather! Some how I don't feel old enough to be a Grampa. Time has passed quickly. My passions were Backpacking and 4X4 off road in Colorado. But back in November of 2004 I had a severe spinal injury. I was in the Hospital for two months and was paraplegic.

Now it's been 4 years, I am still recovering and slowly getting better...Expand for more
