About Me

During my 30+ years in public accountancy my name became synonymous with computers, the Internet, and technology. And while today a computer and I are still never too far apart, as a VA accredited Veteran Service Officer (whose own “still a work-in-progress” journey through the VA health system is a result of: my three tours in Vietnam -- October 1967 to December 1969 -- as what was then known as a “Brown Water Navy, Mekong Delta, River Rat,” and, my contact with Agent Orange and the other herbicide dioxins -- which contact, over twenty-five years later, finds me a VA classified “Service-Connected” “Catastrophically Disabled” tetraplegic with only partial use of my right arm and hand) who is in a wheelchair fulltime, yet continues to work a full five-days-a-week schedule (from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm -- with more than a few weekends thrown in to boot), when asked for the current “words of the day,” I will quickly tell you: “Let No Veteran Ever Stand Alone!”
