Life
One of the wildest things I ever did in school was playing some tricks on MASOMA girls as a ROINES pledge and serenading one of them in front of the whole cafeteria. After starting school at Butler I joined the Air Force during the Vietnam War. I was supposed to be a Russian interpreter but ended up crewing F-4 fighter jets. As a kid I always wanted to be a fighter pilot when I grew up. My family thought that was just a kid's dream.

rst moved to a C level executive position including the office of the CEO. After 12 years there, I started another bank for GM which is now Ally Bank. To do that I traveled from Atlanta to Philadelphia or Wilmington every week for two years with the exception of a few weeks after 9/11. We have two grown sons that are now married and live here in Atlanta. I have five beautiful granddaughters ranging in age from 11 to 2. I have been the COO for TSYS Debt Management in Atlanta since January 2, 2003.

My obsession is sports and my 5 angels but my wife and kids tell me it is politics.
