Hope everyone ended up with an ample dose of happiness. As one gets older one realizes it's all about being happy here and now because the amount of time we are all allotted is too damn short. Married in 1982 to an angel who made my life better in every way. Jacqueline and I hit 42 years in 2024 and are still going strong!

Awarded BS in Business Administration with a 3.95 GPA and a Project Management Certification. Got into banking management starting in 1979 and stayed there a lonnnng time. Went from First Florida later bought by Barnett, stayed 18 years. Bounced to First Union which merged with Wachovia later bought by Wells Fargo, another 20 years, and then to GE soon splitting off as Synchrony later bought by Deluxe Corp. (9 more years). I managed from 60 to 100 employees in some of the largest transaction processing sites in the financial industry. I retired on 06/18/21 at 62 years of age and earned it. But, hey, the fun never stops!

On the side I published two issues of my "superhero" comic book (still just a kid after all this time) called ANGELCORPS: Allied Nations Guarding Earth Life, on sale at IndyPlanet.com! Also a compendium featuring dossiers of all the heroes I created in North America. My website (above) has a link to it!

Recently traded my Porsche Boxster for a Honda Ridgeline as the sports car phase wound down and the Home Depot phase kicked in!

We love to travel and seeing shows. Have been to Europe a few times but we're jonesing for more. Reached Diamond status on Royal Caribbean so you know we're into cruising!

Back at Miles I was bugging all the other kids enough for the big-wigs to skip me from 1st to 3rd, so at CHS, I was one of the youngest kids in the class (graduated early at 16 in January 1975). The more I see the student and teacher names, the more vivid all the memories pour back! Can't believe the school had a smoking area! Donkey-Basketball games. Pretty Chiefettes. Was on the Sequoya Production Team, the competing Chess Team, and in Junior Exchange. Fun activities. Cool pep rallies. Crazy assemblies. Long hair and bell bottoms. Wow, the seventies were so fun, they keep bringing back all the styles, eh?
