As one of the many hats I wear, the Accounting degree I received from Az. State
University comes in handy since I am able to take care of my own financials.
I enjoy golf & travel, but my true passion is gardening. I designed,
installed and care for 5 theme gardens. I give tours of my yard to
churches/scouts/retirement homes/clubs/anyone that has an interest. The tours
have grown to greyhound bus loads of people.
As a cancer survivor, I have learned to make the most of everyday!
I have been married (for 29 years). We have two daughters (Dawn & Rene'), a
son Ross (he is autistic), and two grandsons.
I have never missed a High School reunion and I am looking forward to our

Sales/Marketing Account Manager for Alfa Laval, Inc.
Married to Kathy Anne (Richards), a graduate of Manual High School (Indpls),
for 24 + years (5/16/81), no children (unless you count me - she says I'm in my
third childhood and that I more than make up for several children).
Due to family circumstances was never able to finish college - began working
right after graduation from high school and have been going strong since 1965
(has it really been 40 years?).
Honorably discharged from the U.S. Air Force in 1970 after two tours of duty in
Viet Nam. Received the Air Force Commendation Medal for meritorious service
while in Viet Nam.
Currently a sales/marketing account manager with 400 customers and $6 million
per year in gross sales. Work for a Swedish-owned (is there anything purely
American anymore?) company that is international in its operations and supports
nearly every business segment known (food, environmental, oil exploration,
bio-chemicals, life sciences, shipping (cruise, industrial) - well, you get the
picture!) - I've been with them since 1994. My customer base includes the
vegetable oil, fish, meat, poultry, and brewery segments. All of the major U.S.
companies in these business segments are my customers.
I have been an ordained deacon since 1981 and was ordained as a minister of the
gospel on 4-25-1998 (my 51st birthday) and have been preaching the Word,
teaching, performing weddings (and funerals), and now have about 30 churches in
8 states that I visit on a regular basis. I am in charge of the music ministry
at my home church in Franklin, IN and am responsible for booking singing groups
to appear at the church.
I am an accredited public speaker by Toastmasters International, the
International Platform Guild, and the National Speaker's Association.
Hobbies: on very rare occasions I still judge high-school band contests, drum
& bugle corps contests; I love to read (about 60 books a year), I love all
kinds of music (except heavy-metal, rap) - my favorite is light jazz; I am a
HUGE science-fiction fan (Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, Andromeda, etc.);
Kathy and I love to travel, we love to cook together, we watch the Food channel
all the time (you would know this if you saw me in person - I'm nearly as round
as I am tall! - the good news is that I'm not very tall!)
Well, this ought to be enough incriminating information for now....
