I have been retired from the Air Force for about 16 years. I live in the Metro Washington, D.C. area in a town called Burke, VA., which is approximately 18 miles from the city. (Don't try to find it because Burke is so small that everything closes at 10:00 p.m. I am married (Ressie), with one step-daughter. I am the proud grandfather of 4 boys. I am a member of Antioch Baptist Church and not ashamed to say that I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I currently work for a government contractor, BAE Systems, as a systems administrator.
