  Retired

  I am happy to share that today I am starting a grand new adventure called "Retired"!It has been one heck of a ride that could not have been accomplished with out the help and support of all my friends and colleagues. My first job was when I was 14 years old busing tables at a small restuarant. I have been gainfully employed for the last 54 years. 6 years in the USAF (3 years in Germany) 10 years with Harris Corporation on DoD projects, 5 years with the GE-Harris Railway Electronics JV (I was one of the original 49), 14 years with Harris/NetBoss managing international projects in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe, and lastly the past 10 years at GE and now Wabtec. It has been an unbelieveable run and as everyone always says , it was truly because of the people I have met, worked with, and became freinds with over the years that helped me succeed.I have no real plans going forward. For the first time in a very long time I do not have a schedule to manage, critical path's to monitor, no performance penalties, no endless status meetings, and no more "what's your recovery plan". I plan to enjoy more golf, more fishing, more travel, my family, and especially my grandkids! Pa Pa is now my only job title!! Show less
