Both the Army and the Navy were drafting during the Viet Nam war. My draft number was low, so I
joined the Navy in 1966. I was stationed first at NAS (Naval Air Station) Kingsville, TX. until mid-1968.
From there I was transferred to NAS Virginia Beech and attached to Fighter Squadron 31 which flew off
the USS Saratoga in the Sixth Fleet. We kept the Soviet Fleet in check. I was either at the Naval Air
Station or deployed in the fleet until my honorable discharge in 1970.
I came to Houston after departing from the service and attended the University of Houston from 1970
until 1974 when I received my BBA in Finance.
After college, I worked for various large corporations and then in 1985 joined a broker/dealer and
became a financial advisor. I am still actively engaged in that field and broker through Royal Alliance,
part of Advisor Group.
I am an active member of Lakewood Methodist Church and have attended there since 2007. As an active
member I am part of the Sheepdog Ministry which deals with urgent situations involved with the church.
I am also part of the Stephen Ministry which walks with people in trying times with the help of the Lord.
I am married to Janet, my wife of 45 years, am a father of two, a daughter and son and a grandfather of
two a granddaughter and grandson.
In 2022, I became the treasurer of STP Warriors with Chuck Wright who is the CEO.

What I learned from several years of therapy and practicing those lessons afterwards, was that no matter what happened that upset me, I should forgive and let it go!!! Then I should make a list of 20 to 30 people, places, things I am grateful for, go through the list several times thanking God for each one, especially for any people who are on the list. I promise you that the more you express forgiveness and gratitude daily, the happier you will be. Also make note, a chapter in the STP book, titled How Forgiveness and Gratitude Transformed My Life is my contribution to the book. I hope you will read it.
