Short Bio

In February of 2010 I was diagnosed with Primary Lateral Sclerosis: there is a debate in the medical community whether PLS is a separate disease or only a precursor to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. My official ALS diagnosis date is April 23, 2014. Little did I know that when I enlisted in the USAF in January of 1967 as a 19 year old college flunk-out that the US Government would be “responsible” for a disease that I would be diagnosed with more than 47 years later.
