About Me:
I served with the U.S. Army and was assigned to the Military Assistance Command Vietnam in 1966. I am a life member of both the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Disabled American Veterans. I am judged to be 40% disabled by the Veterans Administration from injuries to both lower legs that I received while serving in Vietnam.
After my discharge from the U.S. Army, I obtained an Associate of Science degree from Kaskaskia College and a Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts degrees from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. I graduated as an Honor student with a 4.87 GPA through graduate school. While in graduate school, I was elected President of the local Psi Chi Chapter for the National Psychological Honor Society. My Masters degree is from the Experimental Psychology program in 1982.
I worked as an Underground Field Engineer for National Mines Service Company (1967-1972) that produced underground coal mining equipment. After obtaining my Bachelors degree, I went to work for McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Company (1978-1985), working first as a Human Factors Engineer evaluating fighter pilot work load and optimizing aircraft control positions. I was then promoted to Section Manager in the Advanced Learning Center developing computer based fire control and targeting programs for missile fire control systems and then as a Section Manager for the Harpoon and Tomahawk Missiles Program, responsible for both NATO and CONUS weapon system installation, maintenance, and training. In 1985, I went to work in the communications intelligence field, carrying the highest level Top Secret clearance and became program manager for a program that was considered to be the fifth most important to national security at that time.
