Randolph Elementary-Irving JR. High-LHS-Southeast Community College- AA Degree in Environmental Technology.

In the past Phyllis & I volunteered at Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach and Meals on Wheels.

I had something to do with records for the Juke Box.

In 2011 my best friend Phyllis Maurer and I celebrated our 35th anniversary.

I spent 4 years in the Army as an MP, including 13 months in Korea. My last duty station was at Fort Ritchie Maryland where our company did security deep underground where top government officials would go in the event of a nuculer attack. This is a very high level security location, patroled above by MP dog handlers. We also served as honor guard for military funerals.

For a little over 10 years I was a programmer(DJ) at Lincoln's community radio station KZUM. My program was called Sagebrush Serenade, taken from the Poco song of the same name, which was my into. I described the music I played as accoustic, bluegrass, country/country rock and everything in between. The highlight of my years at KZUM was when a blind programer and I did a live feed from the Zoo Bar for a local bluegrass band Cold Spring.

I worked 17 years as a lab technician for the Natural Resources Conservation Service, a branch of the USDA. I retired after 20 years of government work in 2006-one of the best moves I've made.

Now I'm a writer. I've had short stories published in regional publications, two anthologies, and three of Mary Jane Nielson's books( Life In Lincoln...As I Remember It, When I Was A Kid, and Game Day Memories.) My column A Senior Moment has appeared for the last four years in Lincoln' seniors paper 55+.

I will be submitting over the next few months and next year some of my short stories in the crime and paranormal genra's. My newest book published in 2020, ANGELS AMONG US, is now available on line at Barnes & Nobel and Amazon.
