I attended ABAC, Ga. Tech and graduated the University of Ga. In 1964 with a BS in Physical Geography (Physics applied to the earth and atmosphere). The first job was land use analysis and land planning based on water resources for major portions of Florida for a major government agency headquartered in West Palm Beach. Within a few years I became Director of the Planning Zoning and Building Department for Delray Beach, Florida.
I eventually resigned government employment to become a licensed construction contractor, and subsequently operated my own company for many years. In 1976 I sold the company and became project manager for international airport projects and similar international developments. I left the United States to manage projects in Panama, Bahamas, Belize, Trinidad, Aruba, Antigua, Colombia, Canada and the Mid-East country, Qatar. I returned to the USA full time in 2014.
Eventually work took me from Singapore, Malaysia and the Arabian peninsula through the Caribbean, most of Central America, northern South America and as far north as Halifax, Canada. When I went to a country I was not a tourist, I lived there from 1 to four years and became a part of their world. My ramblings took me into the Great Arabian Desert with its unbelievable, sweltering heat and deep into Amazon basin by boat and on foot with indigenous Indians as guides. I also lived for over a year with a tribe of escaped slaves so isolated in the jungles of Belize that they spoke their native African language. I helped them build a hospital. That was going back to nature in every sense of the word, a very interesting experience.
I always enjoyed exciting hobbies. So, for my own personal “thing”, the bucket list, I evolved from a high school aircraft pilot to parachuting in my early 30s. As life would have it, I test jumped the original ram air chutes, the square parachutes used today. When on assignment in Central America I parachuted into tropical jungles, the Panama Canal and isolated jungle villages. I also jumped on the family farm in Tifton several times.
While at the U. of Ga. I became a still ring gymnast, and through the years climbed rock face cliffs, snorkeled and scuba dived for many years and motorcycled throughout the Americas and Caribbean.
Today life is a bit slower with gardening being my most exciting hobby. But, I remain working managing terminal construction and special airport systems projects in Ft. Lauderdale International Airport and sometimes in Midway International Airport, Chicago.
I have a home in Fort Lauderdale where my wife, Gloria, and I live. We have been married for over 40 years. She is a wonderful, exceptionally intelligent Panamanian lady I met while living in Panama. I have 2 step sons and third step son who had been adopted by Gloria before we met. I also have a biological son from my first failed marriage.
