 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

I had pastored a small rural non-denominational Christian church in Oregon for six years. 

I am newly married to a beautiful Christian woman.

I have four daughters and nine grandchildren (eight surviving). 

Some of the things that I am doing in this latter part of my life
     * a writer and professional speaker
     * published five books, 2 Christian inspirational and 3 Navy books

After retiring from the Navy in January 1992, I worked as an information technology consultant for 12 years. It was at that time that I decided to turn my life in another direction. The Lord brought me to where I am today.  God called me to pastor a church.

Memories For This Unit

Best Friends
Doug Hvinden

Best Moment
Coaching Telecommunications Department basketball team to a second place finish and Co-coaching the football team to a first place finish.
   

Worst Moment
Having to work for Captain John Shivik and Commander Jerry Caseman.

Chain of Command
LCDR Mike Judd, Caseman, Shivik.
   

Other Memories
I loved it when Jerry Caseman flipped his jeep on the curves between Naval Station and NSGA. He was getting on others for speeding and then he flips his vehicle while driving too fast on a snow covered road. "Don't throw rocks - they may come back to hit you."
