He enlisted in the army at seventeen, shortly after the end of World War II, and remained in the army for almost 21 years, retiring as a Master Sergeant. He served most of his army time overseas, including multiple combat tours, in Korea with the 3rd Infantry Division, and in Southeast Asia and Vietnam in advisory and Special Forces assignments. He attended college during the academic tumult of the late ’60s, and thereafter lived and worked in Germany and later as a commercial fisherman in Alaska. Returning to Ohio in the mid ‘70s for graduate studies, he was employed in industrial security and in legal and commercial investigations until he obtained a law degree and entered the practice of law. In 1999 he closed his Alaska law practice and spent the next six years as an itinerant instructor in western law and business subjects at universities in Russia, Germany, and Kazakhstan. Now in his eighties, he resides in Southwest Alaska.view less
