Now

After high school, I went away to college and then enlisted in the Navy to help pay for school.  I got to travel extensively and visited France , Italy , Spain , Monte Carlo , Turkey , Singapore , Azores , Panama , Puerto Rico , Cuba , Australia , Bahrain , The Virgin Islands and Diego Garcia.  I feel very fortunate to have seen those places since most of my friends have never left Arkansas or only visited neighboring states.  I lived in Virginia Beach for a while and then moved to Northern Virginia / Washington DC area where I worked for the government in Quantico , VA.   For years I couldn’t wait to get out of Arkansas and then for years after I left,

I couldn’t wait to get back.  I moved back to Arkansas in 2002 because I missed my family tremendously and after the September 11^th attacks, my 10 mile, 15 minute commute turned into an hour and a half due to security checkpoints at the facility where I was working. 

I am a Computer Network Engineer and I currently work for a Steel conglomerate in Little Rock called Lexicon, Inc. http://www.lexicon-inc.com.  I have really enjoyed seeing old friends since my return to Arkansas and I look forward to seeing many more at our reunion.
