Fort Knox was my last assignment. 11 days after leaving the Army I started as a civilian structural engineering designer for the Corps of Engineers in Louisville Ky.

d best hobby I had was that for eight years I refereed NCAA basketball for NAIA and Division III. The kids keep you young!
I became a project manager in 2004. I spent a year in Afghanistan in 2005 and am now nine months into a year assignment in southern Iraq. All as a PM for military construction. When I'm done here I go back to PM, getting Army Reserve Centers built nation-wide.
I have a beautiful 20-year old daughter from my first marriage.
My wife Marcella is also a licensed engineer. We have been married for 15-years.
I've made it to 27 countries and I still think the Conyngham Valley in Autumn is the prettiest sight on earth.
