A brief summary of some personal information.
Military
I am a veteran of the U.S. Army Reserve (86th USARCOM, 900th MASH in Peoria and the 30th Hospital Center at Fort Sheridan, north of Chicago). I was an outstanding graduate of basic training (Fort McClellan, AL), and I learned my MOS (31K - Combat Signaler) at Fort Gordon, GA. While I was in the USAR, I was also a database programmer, using Ashton Tate dBase III (and later IV), which led me to several summers of Active Duty for Training as well as some travel to other locations.
American Legion
I am a member of Post 0523, Harrisburg, NC.
Capricon
I have been the Guest Liaison for Capricon XXX (30), XXIX (29) and XXIII (28) and the Webmaster for Capricon XXIII (23). Capricon is a science-fiction / fantasy literary convention held every February in the Chicago area. The convention is currently held at the Westin Chicago North Shore in Wheeling, IL.
