I graduated from Hobart College, received an MBA from RIT and worked in various banks which lead me to Pittsburgh. When I was 42 I found myself out of work. I had taught accounting in night school for around twenty years so I took and passed the CPA exam. From there I bought an accounting firm and things have worked out pretty well. Along the way I received an MS in Taxation from Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh.

I got lucky when one of my clients sold me his business which lead to the businesses that I now own.

Currently - President and Chairman of Board of Swindell Dressler International Company - Pittsburgh Pa. and Chairman of Board of Globe Machines in Melbourne, Australia

Live in a suburb in Pittsburgh, Pa - 126 Pinehurst Drive, Gibsonia, Pa. and have a home in Bonita Springs Florida where Joyce and I spend the winter.

That's it in a nut shell - the kids have done well - going around another time with the grandchildren -
