Like many others, I had never heard of
ARDS until following my daughter Tiffany's accident, when the trauma
doctor came in and told me that she had developed it. Her loss left us
dumbfounded and devastated, as it does anyone under the same
circumstances. I wouldn't have made it through the tragedy without the
support of the people in the support group, and when one receives, one
must give back. Being a part of the support team is my gift to
Tiffany's memory, that hopefully in helping others, I can repay the
kindness that was shown to my family.
My wife, Debbie, and I, have three
other children, Andrew, age 15, Derek, age 13, and Lindsay, age 11. I
am employed by the National Weather Service Aviation Weather Center in
Kansas City. Our office prepares both text and graphical forecasts for
enroute flight conditions and hazards to aviation for the lower 48
states, as well as conditions aloft over two-thirds of the globe. I
graduated from Florida State University in 1989 (I was a returning
student) with a B.S. in Meteorology. My main hobbies are driving my
wife crazy by horsing around with my kids, playing guitar and singing
with an acoustic classic rock-pop trio, and anything that has to do
with aviation (although I'm not a pilot, we all can dream, can't we?). |
