After graduating high school, receiving an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army, he then returned to the Lake Arrowhead area to work as a fireman and law enforcement officer for the U.S. Forest Service and a fireman/EMT for the Lake Arrowhead Fire Department. In 1979 he was accepted by the elite USFS Smokejumper Unit, where he fought fire while parachuting out of perfectly good airplanes, dispatched from the Redding Base in northern California for 6 years.His next career adventure took him to the Kwajalein Missile Range, Marshall Islands, as a Haz-Mat Firefighter and Aviation Life Support Equipment Specialist, to teach open water survival techniques to contract and TDY fixed-wing and rotary pilots. As a certified PADI Dive Instructor he taught SCUBA classes and served as Chief Divemaster for the Kwajalein SCUBA Club. In addition to these accomplishments, he secured a permission to live on Enubuj Island where he and his family became the first, and to his knowledge, only non-Micronesians to live “off island” on the atoll, providing them a true “Gilligan’s Island” experience that lasted many years.Returning stateside Buzz worked at various jobs, until he left his corporate position as the Director of Research & Development at American Leak Detection to relocate to the Pacific southwestern coast of Mexico where lives with his wife, Debi, a black Labrador Gilhooly, and Pearl the Wonder Cat. Having published Twin Peaks-The True Story, he is now writing his next manuscript. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements on its release.view less
