RESUME'

I was born in Clifton Forge Va. at a very young age. Even then mom and dad where always trying to pin something on me. The C&O railway transferred my father to Huntington, WV. in 1957 where I attended West Jr. High School and graduated from Huntington East Vocational High School in 1962.  I received a high school diploma along with an Architectural-drafting diploma. I am a United States Air Force and Vietnam Veteran of the nineteen sixties. No flowers sprouted out of my short hair although I was caught wearing a leisure suit with a white belt once or twice. I was extremely fortunate to marry a wonderful woman from Sherman High School in Seth WV. She has managed to put up with me since Dec.1964. We have a son (Jeffrey Bryan), a daughter (Terrie Michele), and two beautiful grandsons (Bryan Mathew and Shayne Hunter).

I attended Marshall University, Wichita State University, Montgomery Junior College, University of Maryland, and WV. Institute of Technology. I finally graduated from NOVA Southeastern University in 1994 with a B. S. degree in Professional Management. My oldest grandson (Bryan), both children, my wife and several long time friends attended the ceremonies to witness me cross the stage to receive my diploma at the ripe old age of 50 years. Mom and Dad always accused me of being a slow learner. It was one of the proudest days of my life. Man, did we party hardy that night.

Currently I am working as a Project Manager for Space Gateway Support, a government contractor supporting launch efforts at Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

School continues to be a part of life although I am now a member of the silver haired brigade. I'm forced to compete with the young yuppies or x-generation, or whatever they are called, that grew up in a cyber world, because I am not independently wealthy. Remember the fact that I was born at a very young age and a slow learner, well to add insult to injury, I was also born poor. The wife and kids refuse to support me in a manner that I would like to become accustomed (Mansion, Servants, Yacht, Jaguar, Any volunteers out there, Hello?). Anyway, accepting the fact that I have to compete, I am working on a Master's Degree, from Webster University, in Computer Resources and Information Management.

Creation of this Web page is a requirement for one of the courses in the degree program. I must be learning something or you wouldn't be able to see or know who I am by sitting at your computer. Thanks for viewing my personal web site.
