Biography

I am a native of Houma, Louisiana.

My wife is from Suriname, South America, and we enjoy our family of three children and three grandchildren who also live near us in Gray, LA.

I am retired from a chemicals manufacturing facility located near New Orleans, Louisiana.

I have been inactive as a ham for a number of years but have recently become active again on many of the bands.

I am a member of the Thibodaux Amateur Radio Club, http://www.w5yl.org/

Thanks for looking me up and hope to QSO with you sometime.
