Hello, I was raised in Gustine California on a Farm. I attended the California Polytechnic State University and was awarded a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering. I spent 22 years in the navy as a nuclear trained submarine officer. Held all the typical jobs up to commanding officer of the submarine USS Alabama. I served on 4 submarines and one aircraft carrier. After the navy I was an engineering manager at Caterpillar's engine division in Peoria, IL. After Caterpillar I was the director of engineering and also Maintenance and Planning manager at Dayton Power and Light. For the last 4 years I have been a senior manager for a DOE contractor in the nuclear fuel business. I live in Mayslick, KY on three acres among an Amish community. Luckily it is the perfect setting for low noise activity.
