During my 15-year tenure, I held the positions of State Director of Records Management and later served as Director of Technology Planning and Controls.

I retired in early 2014 and have been spending my leisure time managing investments which includes some real estate properties. Other interests include staying abreast of current news events with a focus on government and politics.
So far, my health remains good and I'm having a great life!
