and DeVry University. His professional
career centered on electronics, working

One of his most meaningful life

learned from his parents. His interests
include astrology, gadget inventions,
live theater, and all types of music.
Love of Christmas lights and clocks are
high on his list, as well. He has fond
memories of a Wild West Trip that he

easy nature and positive attitude.
