I'm a 20 year Navy Veteran, having served on Submarines from 1974 through 1993, after attending training for two years. I currently work as a Training Specialist for a major Communications company in the Chicago suburbs. I love to travel, meet new people, and enjoy photography as well as writing.

Whatever hits my muse to get me going.
