He was a training officer and left his mark on every recruit he worked with. When he retired in 2005 there were 112 active recruits he had trained and mentored, he was very proud of this.
He was a Master Welder, and a Colorado small business owner. He was a hard worker and never minded getting his hands dirty with honest work. He loved to cook, and he made the most delicious grilled and, smoked dishes on his Traeger. He would collect recipes, the most famous of them a spaghetti sauce given to him by his army friend at Ft. Hood, although it did have more oregano. He loved to cook for others, always waiting to eat after everyone else had their fill. He enjoyed people enjoying his food.
