Enlisted in the Army out of high school. Came back to civilian life in 1978 but remained in the Army Reserve. Worked in electronics for the next 17 or so years (technician, technical support, supervisor/manager). Started my career in technical writing in 1995 (writing for an office equipment manufacturer) until 2006 where I was writing for a software company. Went back to school (Northern Illinois University) and completed my M.S. Ed. in Adult and Higher Education in 2005, an Ed.S. in Career & Technical Education in 2015 (University of Wisconsin-Stout), and an Ed.D. in Leadership in 2019 (American College of Education).

I'm fully retired from the Army now. and also retired from the federal government (US Department of Education) in 2019.
