About

Let鈥檚 see I will basically introduce myself to you as a humble, sometimes dry and funny humorous, loving and kind, Trusting and Giving Personality the rest is a summary of my life in a Nuts Shell. I was born in Greenville Texas USA Raised in California, Lived in New Mexico, Utah, Came from a family of (10) 5 brothers Five Sisters Same parents of all Ten I am number five. Graduated from Cordova S High School in 1982 had My 18th Bday on the 2day of Basic Training NAS Orlando Florida. Joined the US Navy for 4 years on board the USS Carl Vinson CVN-70 at the time the newest Air Craft Carrier at the time. My Rate as a Ship Serviceman, Ship Stores, Laundry Dry-cleaning, Book Keeping, 3M Maintainer of Material Management for 70 Plus compartments or store spaces for the S-3 Division and Served TAD for 1 year as Ship Master AT Arms. Sea service consisted of 鸥 round the world tour 10-1/2 months at sea and 2 west pacific deployments 8 to 9 month for each deployment. I finished the 4 year contract as a SH2 Petty Officer Second Class Honorable Discharge. Worked for various companies doing construction in financial instutions and 4 years as a health club facilies manager. In 1994 I received my B-1 license as a General Contractor in California (Martin鈥檚 Quality Construction Inc.) specializing in whole house remodeling, additions, and commercial tenant improvements. Closed the business in 2006 when the US economy went south. After 2 years as a civilian I missed the Military Life Joined the US Air Force Reserves And Retrained As an Air Cargo Specialist 60555 now it鈥檚 called a 2T2 Served 19 Years Retired in March 2010 As E-7 Master Sergeant. I moved to the Philippines in 2008 after a bad divorce of 23 years and 2 Sons. After 2 years in the Philippines I met my new wife and married. I opened a furniture business making custom furniture for export but again the US economy found no favor to me. I made and exported over 55kUSD in furniture to California to this day I am still waiting to get even one penny back from my investment, Shortly after that great loss I lost (I know it鈥檚 starting to sound like an sad and not so good country song but bear with me a little longer) my second wife to a gambling addiction of which I was completely unaware that she had before getting married. In short when the money dried up she abandoned me for a venture to find another to support her diseases . So at this time I am married to her due to the fact there is no divorce in the Philippines only
