I am a long time resident of San Diego, California, a 1965 graduate of Boston University (BSBA), and a 1969 graduate of The University of Connecticut (MBA). I served as an active duty Navy Officer on two deployments to the Vietnam Combat Zone aboard the USS Eldorado, AGC-11 --1965-1968. I worked for about eight years in branch banking and for about 26 years for the US Government, mostly the Small Business Administration as Chief, Finance Division, San Diego District.
