I finished my second, civilian career at the end of 2013, amassing just under 19,000 hours of flight time over 43 years of flying. My wife and I have two children, both attorneys, our son in private practice in Fort Collins and daughter a city prosecutor for Colorado Springs. Now retired, I volunteer at the Air Force Academy two days a week, help with our two grandkids, travel with my better half (we love to cruise), and fly fish whenever I can.
