EDUCATION
I attended school and grew up in Houston, Texas and I received a high school diploma in 1974 while I served in the UNITED STATES NAVY.
I lost my father due to Brain tumors caused by a war injury in WWII. I was 14-15 years of age.
I was a member of the Boy Scouts of America starting as a Cub Scout, then a Boy Scout, then I joined the Sea Scouts in which I earned the my Rate of E-3 which was then accepted when I joined the US NAVY in 1974. once in the NAVY I rose rapidly in rate to that of E-4 within two years. I also was the first enlisted service man to receive the then new Enlisted surface warfare double cutlass while serving aboard the USS Richmond K Turner. I was also cleared to stand an enlisted Officer of the Deck underway. I served as a Company Commander at the US NAVAL TRAINING CENTER at San Diego, California in which I lead over five thousand young men to become successful sailors. Some of which served during the recent wars in Afghanastan and Iraq.
also attended Texas Bible College from 1979 to 1982 at which time I was voluntary reinstated in the US NAVY. I then served a total of 16 years and left active duty service to try and save my failing marriage. I have served as a staff accountant, full charge bookkeeper, CFO of private company, Controller of a start up bank. Worked as an A/R Manager.
I recently returned to school at St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas I attended the evening school and a finishing my BA in Business management
