Biography

A native of Roanoke, VA, I was born at Lewis-Gale Hospital when it was still downtown. I attended Cave Spring High School, Virginia Tech and several post-graduate technical colleges. Most of my life has been spent in State or Federal Government service to the Citizen, in the fields of Computer Science, Electronics, Telephony, Mechanical Engineering and Radio-Telephony. I am currently employed in the technology of finance.
