After high school, I attended Ole Miss for one year and then transfered to St. Louis Univ. where I finished with a BS in Aerospace Engineering. By this time I was married with two boys and headed to my first assignment in the Air Force. I completed 5 years in the Air Force which took me all over the world as a C-141 pilot,one tour in Viet Nam and finished as a combat instructor pilot.

My first real job was working for Martin Marietta Aerospace in Orlando. Then Bell Aerospace in N.O.L.A where I joined the Air Force Reserves and flew C-130's for four years before my hatred of the Air Force was greater than my love of flying. My next job was working with Monsanto which prepared me for my next career. Several years later I found myself fired from my job, divorced, and with four kids. At this point I turned to God for divine help which lead me in to starting my first business.

With God's blessing, our company has grown to over 200 employees with world wide sales. My sons and my son-in-law all work with me in creating new products that challenge our engineering abilities.

With more free time I am now pursing my real passion working with some overseas missionaries traveling to mainly South American countries. We also work with several children's homes. My second wife, Peggy, and I have been married over 20 years and enjoy traveling with our 16 year old daughter.
