  • Before ACR: Oakley Elementary
  • After ACR: Navy, then Blue Ridge Community College where I learned the auto collision repair trade. Shop manager for a local dealer, then one of the largest independent shops in the state.
         Picked up an Insurance Adjuster's license and worked claims both as an independent and as a Senior Staff Adjuster.
         After being "aged out" I began to dabble in the stock market and residential real estate. My wife and I formed our own company. We bought, remodeled, sold and/or rented many properties carrying the mortgages on many of them.
         In 2004 my health began failing. I finished my last remodel project late that year and turned all my rentals into notes by making all the renters homeowners. I retired on disability in 2005.
         That same year we cleared about an acre of our land and planted about 700 blueberry plants. I always wanted to grow things.
