Life
Married to Ann since 1979 and have celebrated our 40th anniversary. After leaving James Madison, finished my BS in Physics at VCU.

Moved to Smithfield, Va in 1986 working at Valeo (automotive clutches) as Production Manager, then Quality Manager, and finally Purchasing and Logistics Manager. Offered a position as Supply Base Manager with Philips Electronics (automobile CD, DVD and Cassette modules) and moved to Butzbach, Germany in 1999.

ur house in Smithfield, Va, and in October July 2013 we sold and moved out of Houston to our home in Smithfield. Started a new business in 2019 selling towing products to retailers in the US. You can see our products in most Lowes and other retailers- bROK Products.
Ann and I have no desire to move further north (than Va). Through this time, I have had the privilege of companionship from 5 dogs, 10 cats, 3 horses and of course my best friend and love of my life Ann.
We were DINK's until moving to Germany where Ann could not work due to country restrictions and she is now happily retired from teaching school. (Does that make us OINK's?)
I still stay in touch with Mike Daniels in Richmond at Shepard St Café..
Work of course is work and is made fun through the interactions that transpire with people. I work to pay bills and enjoy other things in life. I travel mainly to the Asia Pacific region as part of my old positions and new business.
