I received the Associates degree at OVC. During this time I worked with the Corning Glass Company, and the Stork Bakery in Parkersburg-both of these companies were closed union shops. I then traveled to Abilene, Texas to finish the B.S. and M.Ed. at Abilene Christine University. I started a thirty five year run of public service in the Texas Rehabilitation Commission, Vocational Rehabilitation Program, and the American Cancer Society.

he M.S. degree in Allied Health Management at Southwest Texas University (Now Texas State University) in San Marcos, Texas. I am published in Special Problems in Rehabilitation edited by A. Beatrix Cobb, Ph.D. The article was titled Vocational Rehabilitation of the Disabled Disadvantaged. I worked for some time in export work, and closed several contracts. I marketed telecommunication products, and was a US pioneer in the fledgling Phone Card market. This work was done with Provident Communications, Dallas, Texas. Among other products the company purchased the Phone Card rights for the Clinton-Gore Inaugural. I also purchased large debit accounts of TWA air line tickets, and used those in a barter trading program. I have trademarked and copy- righted numerous business programs. I am also the Chairman and CEO of DPVENTURES, Inc., and Mosiac Health, Entertainment, and Financial Services, L.L.C.
