(Jan 2011) Now four years out of the military, I have completed purged myself of the urge to put a cover on my head when I leave a building. I also enjoy sleeping in on the weekends and every other friday, never going out to sea, and not having shift work or duty/watchstanding.
I have added a hobby page to my website. It will be added to each time I update my train set.
I am currently working for the worlds largest aerospace and defense contractor, BAE Systems. I still teach and train, but will also be updating Navy curriculum, conducting training analysis, and other training related activities. I teach in Crystal City, Virginia (outside Washington, D.C.) usually once every two or three months for about a week. I like to travel so it's pretty fun and I pick up lots of airline and hotel points that way.
I enjoyed working with the University of
Georgia, Cooperative
Extension, as an Energy Educator in which I planned, developed,
and delivered consumer educational programs related to energy
conservation and to the natural gas industry. I worked with the University for over a year and received the following four awards:

Interviews: I am currently available for job interviews in South Georgia and North Florida, but they had better be good. (BAE Systems has given me a pretty sweet deal.)
My job:
Principle Trainer, teaching multiple courses of instruction to a military/civilian mixture.
Curriculum Developer and Maintainer for US Navy training courses (Instructor-Led and Computer Based).
Training Systems Analyst providing analysis and recommendations for improvements, development, deployment, and sustainment of training systems.
Travel: Willing to commute as north as Brunswick, GA and as south as Orange Park, FL.(But consider this, I only drive 3.45 miles to work currently with BAE Systems.)
Here are examples of my families lineage
linking myself to a veteran of the American Revolution, a veteran of the
Civil War, and to the Presidency of the United States.
Here you may look at two pictures of me taken over a certain number of years. You guess the difference in years between the two pictures. There are three sets of pictures. Good luck.
If you have a moment, can you test out my problem solving flowchart and let me know how it works...Thanks.
