I grew up as an Air Force brat and have lived all over the U.S. I'm a Vietnam Era vet and used the G.I. Bill to go to school for three years at (then) SWTSU for three years and then the University of Texas for two more years. Married since 1972, I have one daughter and two grand daughters.
Audio (obviously), live music, my two grandkids and family, sports car driving, motorcycling, weight lifting and general fitness.
