and a Philadelphia, PA. native was the
first-born among his 4 other siblings. A
Bartram High school student, he decided
to skip his last year, took the G.E.D. exam
to secure his equivalency and literally ran
to the nearest U.S. Navy recruiting station.
There, he studied and learned a trade as
airframes mechanic and continued in that
capacity, serving on the U.S.S Ranger,
an aircraft carrier, until rejoining the civilian community. 1974
saw his first real opportunity to learn a new trade; automotive
electrical systems with a major auto center. Due to his naval
airframes background, he was selected as candidate for a
supervisory position in the auto-electrical dept, and upon
completion and certification from the company’s technical
training center, was placed in one of the auto-service centers
in Los Angeles, Calif.
After 10 years, he moved to Oakland, Calif. for a fresh
start and lived there happily for the next 15 years. It was in
Oakland he began to like the freedom of movement doing
many different jobs, more for the “something new or different”
aspect than any need for work. In 1999 Finding he was
good at making money in turning menial jobs into consistant
businesses, he continued to expand his odd-job experience
and has been able to live comfortably, learning valuable small
job techniques and quick money making ventures.view less
