He cannot recall having a boring day in his life, especially during his early childhood and teen years. These times were filled with unlimited fun activities as well as learning experiences every day of each year. He was active in programs from elementary school through college, and his work history covered a wide and diverse range of opportunities. As a teenager, these included selling vegetables and river shrimp, grassing rice, cutting firewood, to name several. After college, he completed an army career, retiring as a lieutenant colonel. He worked in public administration, receiving two Governor’s Distinguished Service Awards, served as a community college and university instructor and business consultant and trainer.view less
