He is someone who is addicted to his computer. I spend between 12 and 14 hours a day on my computers. I also have at least 1 book going and sometimes finish 2 or 3 books a week. I also collect old movies and British Television shows. As you can see, I hate doing only one thing at a time. I like to keep busy.
My wife for 24 years, DeAnna, and I originally hailed from Arizona. But she past away in 2000 and I was alone for the first time. I remarried in 2003 to a wonderful woman from England, Denise. I was the son of a Postal Inspector, I have had the opportunity to live in most of the western states, only venturing east for Basic training at Ft. Knox and on several business trips. Having lived in Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, California, Colorado, Idaho , Utah, Alaska, and Western Australia, I now make my home on the south coast of England.
I went to Alaska in 1985 to work for the FAA. Working at Anchorage ARTCC, first as a Air Traffic Controller (Developmental) then as a contract trainer. I am responsible for designing, writing and programming computer based training for Anchorage ARTCC.

As someone who believes in life long learning, I am constantly returning to school to receive new knowledge and to improve my skills as an educator of adults and a trainer. I received two bachelor of science degrees from the University of Utah in Sociology and Economics and have a Masters of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) in Instructional Design from Alaska Pacific University. I also have pursued post-graduate work through a Boston University and work on a Masters of Information Technology in Perth Australia.
One of my passions through time has been the study of history. Ranging from the early history of the United States to the history of Great Britain. Fascinated by military life, and after reading the likes of Dudley Pope, C.S. Forester, Richard Woodman and Bernard Cornwall, I have assembled a large library of non fiction and fiction on the British Army and Navy. As well as a wide variety of other military and historical subjects.
