My home now is in Mesa, Arizona. After graduating from W-L, I spent time in Indiana, Ohio, St. Louis, and Los Angeles. I completed a BSE in Physics at University of Missouri-St. Louis, a BFA in Design at California Institute of the Arts and an MBA in Technology Management at University of Phoenix. I taught high school in Jennings, Missouri for six years (physics, math and photography)and was an adjunct professor in business management with National Graduate School. I've worked for Ford Motor Company, McDonnell Douglas, Hughes Helicopters and Boeing. I retired from Boeing in 2011. I also owned a small commercial photography business in St. Louis and was the mayor of Greendale Missouri. My wife Sherron and I married in 1997.
