About

I am a CIO (California Influenced Okie), born and raised in Oklahoma. Moved to California after 1 year of college and lived there to go to school and work for 19 years. I married my wife Brigitta, in 1965 and we have 2 children. Christopher born in 1970 and Kellie born in 1973. We moved to Ohio in 1981 due to a job transfer and lived ther until relocating to Tennessee in 2006. I am now semi-retired from my job with NEI and spend as much time as I can with my 8 grandchildren and boating on the lake. I have a large extended family in Oklahoma on both my fathers and mothers side. I do not get to see them as much as I would like due to the distance, so I hope to maintain an online communication with my family and my friends.
