Our family lives in Charlotte, NC after mving from California in 2005. I own a commercial window treatment company called The Blindman Commercial. We have affiliate offices in 13 states.
I served in the US Army form late 1966 to 1972. I attended Cambodian language school in Arlington Virginia for 40 weeks and then underwent Special Forces Training at Ft. Benning and Ft. Bragg. I served at the Pentagon and the NSA for 18 months and then was sent on special assignments, temporary duty, MAC-V-SOG CCS over the next tow years. I finished my tour of duty in Garmisch, Germany sking and playing golf.
I graduated from the Unversity of Colorado in 1974.
I played briefly on the PGA Tour and Ski Raced Professionally in the now defunct PSRA until 1980.
I worked numerous jobs and was involved in the start-up of The LoJack Corporation in 1988. We devised a police operated stolen vehicle recovery system. I retired out of LoJack in 2000 and played some golf on the Senior PGA Tour until 2004.
I married Debra in 1995 after meeting her in Hawaii at a golf tournament in 1994. |

School Story: |

Was definitely not among the school elite. Pretty dorky and hung out with the same guys all 4 years. Lived two doors away from Gordy Gray. I read he passed away but no details are given.
I hung out primarily with Chris (Tophie) Campbell, Craig Kirkpatric, and Mark Joseph. Also Craig King, Billy Brown, and Jimmy Heinz (all class of 1965 I believe).
I still talk to |
