Co-owner of CREE
Before moving to Costa Rica in early 2007 I worked for nearly 35 years for Litton Industries and Northrop Grumman Corporation which specialized in various electronics systems manufactured for the U. S. government. Most of those years was spent in Customer Service and Project Management. Much of the time was spent traveling the U. S. and Japan visiting military installations and FAA facilities. I was highly involved with youth groups in the United States as a coach and youth committee member and leader.
After arriving in Costa Rica, I immediately became involved with students of all ages facilitating conversation groups and initiated a student scholarship program for at-risk students which currently helps to support 30+ students from elementary school thorough college.
I joined Lidio in 2014, forming what is now Costa Rica Education Exchange, S. A.
I am married to a Costa Rican English teacher and am a naturalized Costa Rican citizen.
