About me

Since retiring four years ago, I have been freelance writing for two and doing home owner's maintenance for the other two. Previously, I once worked in Housing and Maintenance Management, economic development, and government. I also have over 22 years experience in Naval Aviation Management. However, in spite of all this important sounding professionalism, I'd rather be flying, fishing, or writing.
