Robert Urso:  

Life After high school I joined the US Navy. Two years on a 30 year old ship convinced me it was time for college; I did that on a Navy ROTC scholarship. After graduating I spent 6 years as a submarine officer. I have continued in the USNR & am currently a CAPT in a Secretary of Defense staff assignment. My wife (Gail) and I were married in RI in 1999 and we each brought 2 children to the family: one son and 3 daughters. They are all grown w/ 2 in RI, 1 in CT, and 1 in VW. We love living on the coast in Florida but we'll never get the Northeast, and all of our friends and family, out of our hearts. We also refuse to give up our season tickets for the New England Patriots! Peace & happiness, Bob Workplace Currently President & COO of KMS SOlutions, LLC.
