About Me

I had a 20-year Air Force career as a linguist and program manager that culminated with my being an advisor at the Air Force Academy where I retired as a Chief Master Sergeant (CMSgt). I then went on to a second five-year career as an Oracle database professional specializing in the performance tuning area.

For the past few years, I’ve concentrated on being a “search geek” providing detailed search information on individuals or subjects, usually on short notice.

My real interest in life, as you can probably tell, is dogs – more specifically, service and working dogs. I’m very active as a volunteer with Canine Companions for Independence (CCI), to include being a puppy raiser and member of the Veterans Task Force.
