Born in Santa Barbara California.  Grew up in the Saugus valley of California up to junior high. Lived in Denver Colorado through the rest of junior & senior high school until I joined the Air Force.  Spent 24 years in the AF and retired to Montana where I currently live with my family.  I'm married to the same wonderful woman since 88, we have 2 kids, 2 dogs and a number of cats.  I like riding motorcycles and teach basic and intermediate rider safety courses through Montana State University.  I like to be outdoors, fishing and shooting are several other hobbies I have.
