After graduating from South High School in 1960, I joined the U. S. Navy for 4 years.

tation Design Department. I stayed with Ohio Edison Co. for 8 years before my wife and I decided that we wanted to live in a warmer climate.

In 1995, I started to work for Austin Energy in Austin, Texas until I retired in 2011. I've published several significant papers on the work I did for Austin Energy and earlier.
I was forced to retire when I did because my wife ended up getting Alzheimer's Disease. Otherwise, I would probably still be working.
