Country of Service: Belize

Cities you served in: Central Farm

Arrival Year: 1976

Departure Year: 1978

Work Description:

I was the country's entomologist. I worked with farmers solving their crop pest and disease problems

Bring us up to date on your life after the peace corps:

Got into construction, then real estate, and home inspections. I live on the eastern plains of Colorado.

Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps days?:

At first I considered it two lost years of my life, but now I realize that it matured me far faster than I would have otherwise. I wish I had known then, what I know now and perhaps, I would have accomplished more in Belize.

Anyone you are looking for or would like to hear from?:
