Below is a brief description of who I am & what I have done

· I am originally from Providence, RI

· I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering

· I have worked for the United States Navy helping to develop weapons systems for our fleet of submarines

· I was General Manager for a 3000 seat concert theatre, called the Strand Theatre, very much like the Fox Theatre in Atlanta

· I have worked as a Sales Engineer in both the Defense Industry, rebuilding heavy machinery, as well as the Plastics Industry for the manufacture of Polyester Film

After many successful years in the private sector, I found that I wanted something more fulfilling and satisfying.  I had the opportunity to teach on the high school level several years ago and found the experience to be extremely satisfying.
