Life Updated! I'm married to a wonderful lady, Alicia, and together we share two beautiful daughters, Shannan, age 12 and Olivia, age 8. I also have a 24-year old son, Landon, from my first marriage. Landon is serving proudly in the Air Force since Dec 06 and is married to a wonderful lady, Tracy. I retired from the Air Force after serving for almost 25 years. I had assignments in California (85-88), Hawaii (88-91), St. Louis, MO (91-95), Oberammergau, Germany (95-99), Hawaii again (99-01), a tour at the five-sided puzzle palace--the Pentagon, a lovely tour in England (05-08) and finally the place we are going to call home for the foreseeable future, Colorado Springs. We've been very fortunate to be able to do a lot of traveling all over the world and we have especially enjoyed our time in Europe. All the best to you and your family and God Bless Our Troops!
