I am retired engineer from the Aerospace Corporation, having moved to the Central Coast in 2006 from El Segundo, CA. Prior to retiring in 2019, I worked several years at Vandenberg Air Force Base, focusing on Space Launch and Range Safety. I currently make my home in Pismo Beach. Recently widowed from my wife of 54 years, I take enjoyment in watching my children and grandchildren succeed in life.
I have a long career working international programs for commercial industry. Concentrating on delivery of air traffic control and radar systems, I had the opportunity to live, work and travel in several countries, including Morocco, Japan, Thailand, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia to name a few. I have also lived and worked on the East Coast in the Washington-Baltimore area and in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
I am the first to admit that of all those places, nothing can match the Central Coast of California for a multifaceted retirement lifestyle. We truly live in a unique part of the world. In retirement, I enjoy an active lifestyle having recently traveled to Turkey and Greece. I have been to Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico tracing the areas written about by my favorite author Louis L’Amour. I enjoy hiking, biking, and dog walking, and have the distinction of having bicycled Route 66 at the age of 66.
