Please see my book on Amazon.com "Hope, Dream, Pray, Believe!"
I attended TU for 2.5 years in Aerospace Engineering, and obtained a BS in Mechanical Engineering from OSU in 1972. My college was interrupted by 2 years in the Army during the Viet Nam War, and by a series of miracles I served as an Air Traffic Controller in Heidelberg, Germany.
I Married Elaine Cherie Thiessen on June 5th 1971, on the same day President Nixon was dedicating the Port Of Catoosa. We spent 2 years with Texas Instruments in Sherman Texas upon finishing at OSU in Dec 1972. We came back to Tulsa and bought a new home where we lived for 9 years before moving to Southern California. We spent 17 years raising our family in Beautiful Anaheim Hills, CA at 850' elevation. Elaine and I have celebrated important anniversaries on International Cruises and in unique settings. She has become an expert at making travel arraignments for us whenever and wherever we travel.
I became a Registered Professional Engineer in 9 states and one Canadian Provence during my 41 year engineering career. I have served as Lead Mechanical Engineer, Chief Engineer, Project Engineer and Sr. Project Manager on both National and International Projects up to $1.5 Billion.
We returned to Tulsa in 2000 to be close to our kids and family. We now have 4 lovely grandkids going on 5.
I published my first book: "Hope, Dream, Pray, Believe!" in 2012 and am working on a second book which will be completely different, and I hope will make history.
This year, August 8th 2013, I became a member of the SAR (Sons of the American Revolution); having traced our linage to a Patriot who fought against the British in the Revolutionary War. I am member #188216 and was presented my official papers in a ceremony at The Oaks Country Club on Saturday Sep. 14th.
