I retired in 2011, having completed a 40+ year military career flying Hueys and Blackhawk helicopters with two tours to Iraq and Kuwait, and performing as a Consultant for small businesses. I moved from California to South Carolina, and I'm now enjoying time painting and publishing my art, as well as living a good life on a beautiful lake with my loving wife. Suggestion: Live life to the fullest. We don't know how long our ride is.
