I was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania on Monday, 18 November 1963. After a childhood and adolescence filled with warm, happy memories, I reluctantly left the bosom of my loving family and ventured forth, as have millions before me, to begin basic training at Lackland Air Force Base, in San Antonio, Texas. I began my life in the United States Air Force, an organization in which I am still serving proudly, on 02 March 1982. What follows is a very brief summary of my military career to date: |
