About Me
[edit]Career
[edit]After graduating High School in 1984, I joined the US Air Force. During my 12 1/2 year career, I was a maintenance Technician working on RF-4C, A-10, F-16 and F-15.
Afterwards, I worked as an industrial maintenance technician for Becton Dickinson (a medical technology company). I repaired the equipment that made medical test tubes (when you go to the doctor's office, and they draw blood, these are the test tubes).
Health Problems
[edit]On June 24 2005, I was diagnosed with Multiple myeloma (a kind of Bone Marrow Cancer). After taking medicine for 6 months, I underwent 2 Stem Cell Transplants.
In Sep 2014 a 3cm tumor was found growing next to my spine. I've under gone radiation and now having chemo treatment.
Areas of Interest
[edit]Among the many things in life, I am interested in Photography, Woodworking, Rocketry, Spaceflight, Electronics, Robotics, and Geography
