I was born and raised in Montana and at an early age left to join the Army. After my discharge from the Army, I worked for a defense contractor in California as a principle engineer and also spent a number of years working as an engineer overseas. When I returned to Montana, I worked as a Realtor in Billings.

For a number of years before moving to Prescott, my wife and I took an early retirement and moved to South Dakota. While in South Dakota we enjoyed gardening, going to auctions and visiting Minnesota were my wife’s parents lived.

My education background is a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with Information System Option from Montana State University Billings.
