Bio

People usually call me Steve. I am a veteran of the Marine Corps, having served from June 1975 to June 1979. I was honorably discharged with the rank of Sergeant, having earned two meritorious promotions, a meritorious mast, and the Good Conduct Medal. I worked as an aviation electrician on F-4J Phantom II's while serving with VMFA-251. Once I left the Marines, I went to Valdosta State University and three years later I had a degree in Philosophy. While attending VSU I had a part time job with the local TV station and was involved in TV or media production until 2013. Until March 2020, I was a contract worker with Sim-Tech Manufacturing in Peachtree City. We built trainers for the airline industry. COVID-19 brought an end to that. I have been married 30+ years. My wife, Lisa, works for Progressive Insurance and is also a VSU graduate. We have two daughters -- Sarah (a graduate of Georgia Tech) and Deanna (a graduate of Georgia State University), and one son, Brian (attending Georgia State University). My hobbies are computers (no kidding), reading science fiction and World War 2 history, and playing games -- any kind will do.
