Goals, Values, Vision
I raised three boys in Northern Lower Michigan and I was raised there myself. I am currently on my last assignment at the Pentagon and will retire in 2027 and hope to return to Michigan to NOT sit behind a computer screen. One of my sons is a finance major and another is a marketing major and both have expressed interest in helping me out. The other one is on a ship full time but intends to come and help when he has leave.
