After graduating college I was a V.I.S.T.A volunteer and taught school in a low income area. Then I taught all subjects in a private school.

After that I started a Real Estate co. and grew it until 1981 when the market crashed.

Then I went sailing around the Pacific Ocean. I made it as far as New Zealand. On one trip I was lucky to get a job on the escort boat for the HOKULE'A. The HOKULE'A sailed without a compass, charts, clock, or radio, to prove the Ancient Hawaiians could navigate the Pacific Ocean without modern instruments.

In 1987 I moved with my daughter to Northeast Texas. I was a single parent and had family in that area. I sold cars and started a Vending Business. I also went back to night school to get my M.S degree. I works several years as a Mental Health Case manager for M.H.M.R. After that I worked for C.P.S. as a child abuse investigator. I did not like this job and didn't stay long.

After my daughter graduated from high school, I moved back to Houston. I sold boats for another co. for a short time and then started by own company selling boats. After 6 years I went to work for other people again to get Medical Insurance.

Until I retired in late 2012, I sold cars, then worked for a car rental company and then sold advertising.

Today I have a small sailboat, a RV and I go dancing a lot. I want to travel more.
