About Me edit
Career edit
After graduating High School in 1984, I joined the US Air Force. During my 12 1/2 year career, I was a maintenance Technician working on RF-4C, A-10, F-16 and F-15.
Afterwards, I worked as an industrial maintenance technician for Becton Dickinson (a medical technology company). I repaired the equipment that made medical test tubes (when you go to the doctor's office, and they draw blood, these are the test tubes).
Health Problems edit
On June 24 2005, I was diagnosed with Multiple myeloma (a kind of Bone Marrow Cancer). After taking medicine for 6 months, I underwent 2 Stem Cell Transplants.
In Sep 2014 a 3cm tumor was found growing next to my spine. I've under gone radiation and now having chemo treatment.
