Here's my last 40 years:

After Englewood, went to FJC for a year, majoring in "draft evasion" and minoring in "partying". In '70, I beat the draft by joining the Army. Got out in '73 and went back to FJC (FCCJ?). Took 3 years to make up for the bad grades I made earlier.

- Graduated from UCF in Orlando in '78 (Biology). Master's Degree in Public Health '83 from USF.

- '78 to '85 health inspector and various supervisory positions at Volusia County Health Department (Deland).

- '85 to '90 Environmental Health Director, Leon County Health Department (Tallahassee).

- '90 to '97 Bureau Chief, Department of Health (Tallahassee).

- '97 to '03 CEO of A. G. Holley State Hospital in Lantana (Palm Beach County).

- '03 to '07 Director of Martin County Health Department (Stuart). Retired from State Government in '07.

- '08 to present, CEO of A.G. Holley State Hospital.

Married 27 years (took 3 tries to get it right). Enjoy physical activities, woodworking, fixing stuff and "going out".
