I am 46 years old, retired United States Air Force. I graduated from Huron Senior High, Huron, South Dakota in 1975. I attended National College of Business in Rapid City for one year before returning home to Huron. I joined the Air Force in April 1977. I married Gloria Connor from Huron in June 1978. My first son, Brandon was born in 1981 and Adam was born in 1984. I was stationed at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota until 1986; Florennes Air Base, Belgium until 1987; Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico until I retired. While stationed at Cannon I spent 6 months in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
When I retired from the Air Force in October 1994, we moved to Yanceyville, North Carolina where we lived until April 1995, when Gloria and I seperated. I moved to Charlotte in April 1995 and she and the boys moved there shortly after. I worked in Charlotte as a manager for a temp labor firm, then for my best friend, Millard Pratt, as a driver and then floral designer at Shamrock Gardens Florist, 2119 Shamrock Drive until April 2000. In 1999 I met my partner, confidant, and friend, William Roberts. We moved to Gaston, South Carolina while working with Radio Shack, then to the North/Orangeburg, South Carolina area while I worked with Site-Prep Inc of NC. I took a year off from all work, except for some part time floral with a shop in Orangeburg until moving back to the Rock Hill / Charlotte area. I worked with the Plant Peddler Flower Shoppe in Rock Hill until December 2003, when I began a job as a floral designer with Lowes Foods in Fort Mill/Tega Cay where I worked until June 2004. In August 2005, my oldest son and I began Cre8tive Solutions LLC, I now work out of my home 25 to 30 hours a week as a Customer Service Rep for Office Depot.
