I was an Intelligence Specialist in the Navy from 1983-1987; went to culinary school from 1987-1989 while being a drummer for a gothic rock band (The Wake) in Columbus, Ohio; moved back to Toledo to finish my undergrad; went to Findlay to get my Masters; worked as an environmentalist for 4 years; got married and had two great children; opened my own home care business in 2000; got divorced; started investing heavily in real estate in 2004 and am still doing the home care and real estate at this time...whew, that seems like a lot of stuff when I type it all out!!
