Upon graduating I was fortunate to be accepted into the USAF Institute of Technology under whose auspices I earned an MS in Statistics/Operations Research at Stanford University. I then spent 3 years at Eglin AFB as an Electronic Data Processing Officer and taught mathematics at an extension of Florida State University. I married my wife, Rebecca in 1965 and we have had two children and four grandchildren who now live in Texas.  I lost Becky to cancer in 2008.

We moved to Houston in 1966 where I worked (except for an 18-month stint in NYC) for Texaco until retiring as Director of Downstream Information Systems in 1999. After retiring I worked in the Development group at the Cato Institute for a short time.

In the political exuberance of 80’s, I wound up as the Libertarian Party candidate for Railroad Commissioner and then Governor – a rather sobering look at the political environment. I have since switched to more policy-based activities and am currently on the board of the Houston Property Rights Association and an associate with the Institute for Energy Research. I have led some local Political Action Committees and now host a monthly public access TV show in Houston. My recent affiliation with the Language of Liberty Institute has taken me to Kyrgyzstan, Albania, Slovakia and Poland where I lecture at classical liberal “English Camps” for college students.

I spend some of my spare time attending libertarian-oriented conferences where I sometimes encounter fellow alum, Chuck Albers.  I stay in rather loose touch with fellow Peeps, Doug Armbrust and Jack Wagner.  Looking forward to sharing memories and maybe playing some Frisbee on the Hill.
