I was born and raised in North Dakota with many good memories. I left the State when I was nineteen years old to serve in the U.S. Navy. After discharge from the Navy I attended College at Benjamin Franklin University in Washington D.C. earning degrees in Business, Accounting, and a Master's degree in Finance Management. I worked for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for thirty-four years of Federal Service. I'm Married to Diane L. Wingire. We retired 2002 to North Dakota and built our dream home on Barnes Lake near Woodworth, ND and did everything I never had time to do while working. We now reside Marana, AZ enjoying the warm weather.
