I'm a retired navy CPO. During my career I was a Fire Controlman, and served on 4 different ships, all tin cans, and saw a lot of the world.

For a while I was working for a DOD contractor, but with the economy the way it is, we all got laid off and had to find new jobs. Now I'm working at a genetics research facility in mouse production at a lot lower wage than previously, but at least I have a job.

I'm also a volunteer firefighter.

I enjoy photography, although I haven't done as much since getting out of the navy, but plan to do some more in time.
