  • Biography
    BS in electronics w/ specialty in telecommunications, Texas A&M, Class of '88 and graduated with my class in '89 (5-year program).

    After two key positions in network design/engineering/security, transitioned into (then) 16th Special Operations Wing Intelligence (now 1st SOW) at Hurlburt Field, FL as an Intelligence Systems Analyst (I got to play with the cool toys). Later taken from the Wing (under protest by the Wing) by HQ AFSOC Intelligence. Among other things I did at the Wing, I maintained the classified web pages at the secret and top secret//sci levels, getting intel (imagery, ops, etc.), along with SERE (Survive, Evade, Resist, Escape) materials. My site quickly ended up a favorite in the deployed intelligence community as a one-stop site.

    In 2006, I was diagnosed with my first cancer, which ultimately forced me into Social Security Disability (which sucks, trust me). One of my goals in (formerly investing) trading is to get OUT of SSD and get back to having a lif

  1. Just a quick introduction....feel free to check out my profile if you're interested in more. First, I should point out that I have damage from my first cancer (3 brain tumors) that affects both my typing (typos, mixing words---e.g., starting the next word before I'm finished with the current word), and resulting from a different tumor (2.5 cm occipital lobe), if my fingers don't detect it first, I might not see the errors. So please excuse these. it's not my spelling, it's damage from my first cancer. Now, on to the real stuff. I started out investing, and was always told, during big selloffs, corrections, etc., NOT to sell anything...it'll all go back up again. Well, I quickly realized that, with my very limited investing account (forced into Social Security Disability by cancer #1---not much money, period), making nice gains (for me, that was about $1200) and then having 100% of them along with a bunch of capital, TWICE, investing wasn't the way to make enough to escape from SSD. So, around October '15 or so, I decided to switch over to trading (originally thinking of day trading, now swing trading). I am still in the learning stage. My #1 issue keeping me from trading is being able to consistently pick stocks with a high percentage chance of it/them being a winner. With that in mind, I would welcome any help I can get (free---no $$ to pay for help). I am volunteering with the American Cancer Society and the 2016 Fort Walton Beach Relay For Life, as a member of both the Event Leadership Team and the Survivor/Caregiver Committee. I am also a co-captain (seems there's always two of us) on the survivor team.
