More about me:

I graduated from University of S.C with B.S. in Chemistry but never used it. I enlisted in the Navy, attended OCS and was eventually promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. I studied advanced electronics and data systems. After honorable discharge, I moved to California where I wrote technical manuals in Southern CA and then Silicon Valley for close to 20 years. In 2000, moved back to SC . Taught Chemistry for a couple of years at a local tech school while working for Cisco Systems, Photonics Business Unit before finally settling in Hanahan.

I'm the proud father of two lovely, grown daughters. I'm also an easy going Granddaddy of four wonderful grand children. On occasion, the fairer sex calls me a Southern Gentleman. Maybe that's because I open doors for them, seat them at the table, and stand when they excuse themselves and return. I was brought up this way and thought that every man respects women like this, but I've learned that I'm wrong.

I enjoy pedicures, NHRA (top-fuel and Funny cars), surfing the internet, science, people watching and exploring the Greater Charleston and area. I once enjoyed short road trips to explore new areas of the low country, but have cut back - not fun with no one to share the adventure. I love seafood, salads, hamburgers, intelligent conversation, and cookouts. Green is my favorite color. My idea of camping is sleeping outdoors on the balcony at an Embassy Suites Hotel.
