I currently live in beautiful South Saint Paul, MN... which is just Southwest of the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. I moved here from sunny GA, after retiring from 20 years in the Air Force.

I was born in Omaha, Nebraska, USA, 1957, on Offutt AFB. I traveled to Japan, back to Omaha, Montana, and back to Omaha, before going into the Air Force myself in 1975.

I've been stationed at Offutt AFB, Nebraska; Howard AB, Panama Canal; Tinker AFB, Oklahoma; Yokota AB, Japan; RAF Chicksands, United Kingdom; and Warner Robins AFB, Georgia.

After getting out of the service I worked as a civilian contracted Systems Administrator, LAN/WAN Network Support, PC Technician, and Radio Maintenance Technician for an Air Force Reserve base at the International Airport here in the twin cities. I got to work on computers, which is my first love. My second is Wing Chun kung fu, a Chinese martial art. I also practice, Jujitsu and Tai Chi Chuan...

Now I work for Adobe Systems Inc. in Arden Hills, MN. I'm a Software Quality Assurance Engineer currently working on Adobe LiveCycle Enterprise software. What a fantastic place to work! If you ever get the chance to work for them, I'd highly recommend it.

Have you ever regretted "letting go" of someone in your past. Someone you really loved but were just too dumb to realize how rare something like that is? Recently, just a few years back, I was blessed with finding my long lost love... the girl I dated while I was stationed in Panama. I thought I'd never see her again, but found her via classmates. It was a dream come true. We were apart for 20 years thinking much the same for each other all that time. You see, we both considered the other our first true love and after we parted, we compared everyone we met to the "one that got away" We've been together ever since then and now has moved in with me with her teenaged son Nathan. So, along with my daughter Katrina, my pet frog, two fish, dog and a cat, we're one big happy family :-)
