I attended W-L for my senior year. After graduation I worked for VEPCO until joining the Army in 1967. I served for 3 years, 2 years in Germany and 1 in Vietnam. While in the Army, I was trained in helicopter repair. After the service I attended Embry Riddle Aeronautical Univ in Daytona Beach, FL

In the 70's I worked for Petroleum Helicopters in LA and Erickson Aircrane in CA. I have been working for Keystone Helicopter in PA for the last 36 years.

I met and married my wife while I was attending Embry Riddle. We have 4 lovely daughters and now have 7 grandchildren.
