 Additional Information
What are you doing now:


Officially retired from Air Methods Corporation in May, 2016.

Worked for the 2020 Census Bureau as an "Enumerator", visiting addresses which, for one reason or another, did not submit a Census questionnaire. Due to the Coronavirus, our work could not begin until August (four months late), then continued at a very harried pace through Oct.15th. Altogether, a very interesting and rewarding experience, in more ways than one.

My wife was diagnosed with Dementia in 2024 and was granted Medicaid benefits in early 2025. Consequently, since July, 2025, I have been a paid caregiver for her.
