Michelle and I were married in September 1979, and we have three sons.  Joshua is 24.  He's got a Master's in Structural Engineering from the University of Florida and is working for an architectural/engineering firm in Oklahoma City.  David is 23 and works in construction in Oklahoma City.  He's getting married in May.  Tommy is 18 and a Freshman at Oklahoma Christian University.  Michelle has been a medical transcriptionist working from home for six years, after a rewarding career as a mom.  Amazingly, after living in nine cities in three countries since we got married, our boys all settled nearby.  That means a lot to us.

I retired from the Air Force in January 2004 and we moved from Washington state 10 days later for the position I've had the last several years at Tinker AFB near Oklahoma City.  We live in the country 12 miles from the base on five acres. 

We're involved in ministry at Draper Park Christian Church.
