Me & my "mando" (2003)

Right after high school, I served in the army for 3 years in Germany.  I returned to the states, got married and a attended ARC & CSUS where I received my BS in Mechanical Engineering. 

In 1982 I returned to Germany, where I remained for 10 years, to work wtih the Corps of Engnieers building hospitals and clinics. 

I was divorced in 1987 and moved to Tybee Island, near Savannah Georgia in 1992.  1997 was a big year for me!  I earned a MS in Civil Engineering from Georgia Tech in Atlanta and married my second wife Kim. 

I am currently a design/construction engineer with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta doing laboratory renovations.

Our son, Trey started school IN 2003 at the University of Georgia in Athens and we have two nice cats, Loretta and Domino.

I have always enjoyed playing guitar, played in a rhythm and blues band in Germany ... but lately my musical taste has turned to bluegrass.  I avidly support this American musical art form and play mandolin in a band with my wife and son called "Tucker Station".  I am an acitive member of the South East Bluegrass Association (SEBA.org)
