I was born and raised in a small town in northern
Pennsylvania. I received my education while working for IBM, and had a
career as a Tool Maker, Designer, Engineer, and New Business Development,
retired from IBM and then worked for Lockheed Martin and retired again. I
have three children from my first marriage, Dawn & Bonnie in the Ocala area,
& Todd in Baltimore. I moved to the Villages in 2005 and joined the Parrot
Heads 2010. Wish I would have joined sooner.
The Human Resource Trustee (Volunteer Coordinator) position is a job that requires know-how with Excel spreadsheets, and I have gained that know-how throughout my working career. As a trustee, I would endeavor to keep my personal opinions in check and represent the positions that would be in the best interest of our Parrot Head Club. |
