Biography

I grew up in a military family. As a kid, I grew up constantly moving around the world with my mother and father who served our country 30 years in the U.S. Air Force and was a veteran of WWII. My college education was temporarily interrupted by the Viet Nam War draft. I chose to enlist in the U.S. Air Force and served 4 years. During my tour, I was sent to the Defense Language Institute at the Presidio of Monterey, California. There I received my training as a Czechoslovakian Linguist/Interrogator Specialist. After that I was transferred to Goodfellow Air Force Base in San Angelo, Texas. There I became certified as a Cryptologist. I spent the rest of my tour flying in an AWAC plane monitoring military radio broadcasts for U.S. Intelligence. After I was discharged I stayed in Germany for a couple of years working in a civil service job at the U.S. Army Post in Augsburg. Then I came back to the U.S. to finish college. I graduated with a B.S. Degree in Clinical Psychology from East Tennessee State University. Then I decided to return to California in 1976 and have lived here ever since. I suffered a sports injury a couple of years later. Traditional medical treatment wasn't helping me get better and after ten months of that a friend introduced me to chiropractic care. The outcome of that experience encouraged me so much that I wanted to help others in the same way I was helped. So I became a chiropractor. I enjoy helping others and during the course of my practice I treated a number of commercial truck drivers. My cousin had been a commercial trucker and I became interested in working with them.
