I have been a licensed Hearing Aid Specialist in Georgia or Florida since 1985. I take great pride and pleasure in the knowledge that I have had a positive impact on 100s of peoples lives by helping them with their hearing problems. Opening my own dispensing office has been a long time goal. Prior to 1985, I had been a purchasing agent for several coporations including Phillips Industries and Monsanto Corporation. I graduated from Eastern New Mexico University in 1967, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served 3 1/2 years including 1 year of tour of duty in Vietnam. I was given an Honorable discharge as a Captain in 1971. Being a "military brat" since my dad served almost 30 years in the Unites States Air Force, I have lived in many parts of the country and spent 3 years in France and Germany. I Have been happily married for 34 years and have 3 children and 5 grandchildren who give me a lot of enjoyment.

I have been involved in the hearing industry for many years. I assisted Rick in his offices as the patient coordinator. I ensured that each patient was given the best service possible. I handled the weekly advertising in the newspaper by designing many of the ads and ensured the timely placement of the ads to coordinate with any other advertisment such as direct mail. In addition to these duties, I also went to the corporate office weekly as a personal assistant to the owner. My grandchildren are the love of my life. I am involved with all types of arts and crafts which help me in the advertising of the business.
