At a glance:

Retired IT Professional: I have held many positions during my career in Information Technology. The highlights, I was an Application Developer, Systems analyst, Project Manager, Technical Writer and Geospatial Specialist. I retired from Vector Consulting as a Software Analyst.

Former Wrestling Official for 31 years: I was on the foam for 31 years where I was honored to call the biggest matches in PA District 3. I was a rules interpreter for the Harrisburg Chapter. I was also the assignor of officials for the Mid-Penn Conference. Currently I work with District 3 as the post season officials’ assignor and coordinator of the official’s ranking system.

My guitar: My newest passion. Like writing when I decide I want to take on a challenge I can’t seem to do it half way. When I retired from my job it was an opportunity to learn something new. I started with a guitar I bought for my daughter. Then I bought a Yamaha from the music store. At Christmas there was a sale, so I bought an Amati electric. Then I made a guitar, it combined my love for woodworking and my newest passion. Then I couldn’t resist the Cort Gold acoustic with a beautiful sound. Then a Washburn parlor and now I’m waiting for a special-order Cort Duality.

I’m not afraid to jump in with both feet and fail. If I fail, I learn from the experience. Life is too short to hesitate.
