I joined the Air Force right out of high school and loved every minute of the next eight years. Vietnam was surreal – think “Apocalypse Now“. I met people just like those in the film. After discharge I went to work as a security guard for a burglar alarm company in Cincinnati. This job proved to be considerably more dangerous than Vietnam. I apprehended over a dozen criminals before moving on to a management position in the alarm company. Thus began my forty year career in electronic security. I eventually moved to California and became interested in photography, music, and writing.
