Born in San Antonio Texas early last century. Spent the first few years of my working life as a professional musician playing guitar in various bands. Went back to school, worked for Brown and Root Petrochemical as a pipe welder, foreman, general foreman, supervisor, project superintentent, and project manager - then for their Foreign Marine Department for about fifteen years in overseas projects mostly offshore. Became a consultant for Griffin Group for a few years, representing foreign oil companies at the manufacturing level within the USA. After that, began working as Division Quality Manager for a concrete precast/prestress manufacturer taking care of a multitude of quality systems and various other duties. Still active in music - but more as a hobby.
