I was born and raised to get a good education and work for a big company (I figured this out at around age 35). After graduating from Media (PA) high school, I received an AA degree in Engineering from Wesley College in Dover DE. I then joined the U.S Army to satisfy my military obligation that existed at that time. I received one year of training as a Countermeasures Signal Analyst and spent two years in the South Pacific (Hawaii and other islands). I returned home and finished my bachelor’s degree in mathematics and physics at Penn Morton College (PMC) which is now Widener University.
My first job was with Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester NY as a Process Engineer in magnetic tape. I married the sister of one of my classmates at Wesley and had our first child while there. After three years, Kodak closed the venture and I then went to E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co. in Wilmington, DE which was starting up a magnetic tape venture. After two years, the magnetic tape venture closed and was then given an opportunity of transfer to North Carolina with DuPont’s X-Ray film plant, where we had our second child. After three years there, I was presented with the opportunity to join a new Equipment Division in Wilmington, DE, making equipment for other Divisions of the Imaging Department. Near the end of my tenure there, I watched my mother die of colon cancer. She went through surgery, radiology, chemotherapy and immunology, which gave me an awareness of our mortality and the need to focus on our health and improve our lifestyle. I worked in the Imaging Division of DuPont for a total of 18 years and was laid off when DuPont sold it. I then became a salaried migratory worker, moving eleven times to find employment utilizing my background.
My second wife, Carole, and I started an Export Management company and ran it until the recession hit in 2008 when we had opportunities to work for our U.S. Federal Government (FAA and Department of Commerce, respectively) from which we will soon retire. I read the book “Sugar Blues” while at DuPont (1986), which reinforced my ideas on being healthy. I, in turn, presented about 13 presentations on How to Be Healthy in Today’s World to employees and civic groups with overwhelming responses. I began keeping notes and composing a book while at DuPont which is presently about 30% complete.
While trying to figure out how to improve people’s health by presenting my ideas to audiences, I recently became aware of and enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) which gave me the credentials and more knowledge on how to approach and help people with health problems. All this background has given me a tremendous insight into what it takes to be Healthy in today’s world. I am motivated to help alleviate unnecessary health problems that our U.S. and world populations are living with. I hope I get the opportunity to help you. Thank you and learn how to stay well.
