<\/a>Upon\u00a0graduating 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.\u00a0 I lost Becky to cancer in 2008.<\/p>\n We moved to Houston in 1966 where I worked (except for an 18-month\u00a0stint 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.<\/p>\n 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.\u00a0I 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.<\/p>\n <\/a>I spend some of my spare time attending libertarian-oriented conferences where I sometimes encounter fellow alum, Chuck Albers.\u00a0 I stay in rather loose touch with fellow Peeps, Doug Armbrust and Jack Wagner. \u00a0Looking forward to sharing memories and maybe playing some Frisbee on the Hill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Upon\u00a0graduating 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.
