About Me: My spouse and I have been married for 31 years. We have loved our life. Two kids age 24 and 26 and a Grandson age 5. I served 30 years in the United States Navy, including 8 deployments to the Persian Gulf. The onset of the ALS symptoms started just 3 months after I retired. We hope for the best in the future and know that an optimistic spirit is key.
