Sterling's Story
Find me easily via any search engine.
Let's see where to start?
I left Atlanta (Ridgeview High) in 1976 for Tunisia. I went a year to high school there and then a year in Switzerland (Aiglon High). I then returned to the U.S. and graduated from the Sewanee Academy and then went on to school there at the University of the South. I graduated in 1983 and then went immediately to Navy OCS.
I was an Assistant Weapons Officer on board the USS Nathan Hale (4 patrols) and the USS James Monroe (1 patrol) and then transferred to the reserves to help pay for grad school and then law school.
I ended up in law school at the University of Alabama and practiced law for many years in Birmingham, Alabama. For some strange reason, I continued to get promoted in the Navy Reserve so I decided it would be a good idea to do 20 years. They eventually made ...Expand for more
me a Captain to the shock of all who knew me as a junior officer. (especially my first CO, Charlie Chotvacs who, last reported, was rising from the grave to haunt those who dared to promote me so far!)
Somewhere along the way I managed to fool someone into marrying me and actually having two kids. I guess even strange people like me can get lucky once in a while.
Of course the events of 9/11 changed my life very much.
I am back on Active Duty Navy after a stint in Afghanistan which I thoroughly enjoyed (and I am not kidding). I now work at NATO HQ in Norfolk Virginia and really like the work - a real chance to make a difference in Afghanistan. I am still married with 2 kids. If you'd like to contact me, I'm easily discoverable on any search engine. (the advantage of having a unique first and last name.)
Hope to hear from you!
