I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida.  At 18, I joined the Army, eventually becoming an Attack Helicopter Pilot.  I traveled the world for 20 years, then retired in Savannah, GA in 1981.

Since retirement I have worked as the owner/manager of Glen TV Rentals, as a ballroom dance instructor, and in various management positions.  I came home to Tampa in 1990.  I was married 20 years,  I have been single for over 15 years.
