The Navy years:

My other life:
Retired from NAS Oceana and lived in Va. Beach while I completed a BS in Business Administration at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA.  We moved to Greensboro, NC in 1977.  I worked as the Technical Services Manager for the Greensboro Daily New and Record.  Left Greensboro in 1982 and moved to Charlotte.  I joined a small electronics company, Process Systems, which made energy measurement devices and software programs for energy data collection.  The primary market for PSI was electric utility companies and some sales to large industrials.  I worked in service, sales and later became the Marketing Manager.  PSI was sold to Siemens Power Transmission and Distribution Company, Raleigh, NC in 1997.  Two years later, the Charlotte manufacturing plant was closed and that function was moved to Lafayette, IN.  Some sales, service and engineering services stayed in Charlotte for another two years until the facility was closed and the remaining functions were relocated to other Siemens facilities.  I took a buy-out in February 2000 but remained on as a consultant working part-time until the doors were locked for good.  I presently work part-time for Dynazign, Inc an electronic design firm located in Charlotte.
