We moved to Wichita, Kansas in August 1980 when I took a job with Koch Industries and we have lived in Wichita ever since. After working for Koch, I went to work for Love Box Company as Corporate Credit Manager. When Love Box was acquired by Pratt Industries of Conyers, GA in 2005, I was named a Divisional Credit Manager with responsibilities over a number of different plant locations, including Wichita, KS, Oklahoma City, OK, Tulsa, OK, Kansas City, MO, Staten Island, NY, Allentown, PA, Valparaiso IN, Dallas, TX, Houston, TX, New Orleans, LA, Memphis, TN and Monterrey Mexico.

I own, ride and greatly enjoy a 2007 Honda VTX1300, I am an avid photographer, and I do a lot of pistol target shooting, exclusively 9mm.. An NRA Member? You bet! Tried golf, in vain, over the years, but discovered I could do much better if I just threw the ball. In my early thirties I began to run for exercise and eventually ran 6 marathons, the best in 1981 in Lincoln, NE when I finished in 2 hours and 53 minutes. My knees are too worn out to do that anymore.
