About Me

I served twenty years active duty with the Navy and retired at the rank of BM1/E6, and would do it again in a heartbeat! I am a non-paid volunteer with the Tennessee State Guard and hold the rank of Capt. I work fulltime for AutoZone, Inc., and have been with them since I retired from the Navy. I like the music of the "Big Bands" with Glenn Miller the best! I am a Christian and found Christ on a deployment aboard the USS Point Defiance, LSD-31, Beachmaster Unit One in 1976. A CM3 by the name of Mark Plumb helped lead me to Christ. I would like to meet him again!
