He holds a PhD in educational psychology. He is a Vietnam veteran who served honorably in the United States Army Security Agency during a rather violent period (1968–69).
He is married to Elizabeth, and the house and grounds abound with various cats and dogs. Animals remain over a lifetime, and many have joined others who have gone to the other side. His wife is a friend to all animals and especially the Pekinese variety. The following children live with them: felines Leo, Silver, Kat, Stanley, Hopi, Sissy, and Firecat; and canines Clarabelle (mastiff), Beth (Labrador retriever), Cash (schnauzer), Sam (Chihuahua), and Annie (a blind Lhasa apsos). The property is bounded by a fence and all are safe within.
He and his wife reside in Dothan, Alabama, and both are now retired. He enjoys riding his Harley (2000 FXSTS), writing, and working in the garden and maintaining the grounds. His wife is new to retirement, so she is just “relaxing and taking it easy.”view less
