When I separated from the Air Force I decided to go into broadcasting full-time. I had been doing it part-time ever since high school and wanted to give it a shot. I had a good run that lasted about 9 years and then went to college for a while. I then became a Microsoft Certified Trainer and taught MS Office products as well as web design. I did that for about 3 years and then decided I wanted to do the "web thing" versus teaching. I worked in television for eight years as a Web Content Manager and then decided to do something that made me very happy. I started my own home-based travel agency specializing in Disney travel. I currently own Magical Resorts Travel and am enjoying every minute of it. I am also working as the Operations Manager of a local bridal shop. Basically, I am living the dream now. I have never been happier....and my wife loves the fact that I come home with a smile on my face every day. So do I!
