Biography
Lieutenant Colonel, United States Army, working in operations research and systems analysis at the Pentagon.
He was born in Mississippi, read economics at Mississippi State and took a master's in engineering at Texas A&M. He began in ROTC, served in the National Guard and joined the Army in 1983.
A friend of many years said that if there were a definition of Army values in the dictionary his picture would sit beside it, and that for him it was selfless service - he cared more for others than for himself. Family and country came first.
He was forty-one and lived at Springfield with his wife and their two children.
