About Me

I was a General Manager of a small business (65 employees) in Minnesota for 30 years and Vice President of operations for a medium size business (250 employees) for 5 years. I became a consultant to several large business firms for three years. I worked out of my home for one year in 1997 for a firm in Boston, MA writing government proposals and contracts. I should have been able to retire at the age of 65 but due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to work for an additonal 5 years. I am 72 years old and retired on August 31, 2008. The same day I retired I took up residence in Florida.

I'd like to meet

I would like to meet and talk to sailors from the Enewetok Atomic Proving Grounds of the summer of 1958. Also, love to swap sea stories with former sailors especially Tin Can Sailors.

Activities

I was active in my trade associations for 30 years and became the national president of one of those groups in 1989.

Interests

I have a private pilots license and owned a Cessna 206 for several years. I have logged over 700 hours in single engine, land aircraft. I have always loved vegatable gardening. I am a member of the VFW and was a two term commander of a VFW post in Minnesota.
