Your ProfileI am a veterinarian and moved to the Sandhills in 2001. Semi-retirement offered time to rekindle my interest in painting. I'm a member of the Artists League of the Sandhills and enjoy painting animals. Birds and other wildlife are my favorite subjects.

The Story Behind My AmericaI come from a military family - my parents were both veterans. My mother was particularly proud of the fact that she was a naturalized US citizen and was able to serve in the Army just after WWII. After graduating from veterinary school, I began my career in the US Army working on biologicals defense for 3 years. My career continued in biomedical research. This country afforded me the opportunity to pursue my career goals. I have always felt that a strong military presence around the world has made America Great.
