Grew Up in Lakewood CA with summers spent on the Texas Arkansas border where I now live and traveling all over the U.S. and Canada. Went to Lakewood High, LBCC, CSULB/UCLA class of 76. Graduated with a degree in Clinical Psychology found out during the fall of my 5 year of college I have Dyslexia that effects my Spelling the most, I still do not spell very good even with Multiple MS/MA degrees (Psychology, Computer Science) and a couple of Ph.Ds. After CSULB left CA for Active Duty as an Infantry Officer for 4 years, wound up spending a total of 32 years before being force to retire. Spent time a Forts Lewis, Benning, Bragg, Sill, Polk, McPherson (HQ FORSCOM), Lee, Eustis, Hood, Heidelberg (HQ USAREUR), Schwetzingen, Mannheim Germany. Picked Up a Wife at Fort Sill (she was Chemical Corps) We wound up with some great kids along the way still going strong after over 40 years. After retiring from the Army I taught Special Ed students at the High School level, teaching Science and Social Studies for 3 years then Science and Math for 10 more (7 subjects) plus Content Mastery and Inclusion for entire time. I live out in the country and love living in Texas
