I was born on 13 Feb 1961 at the Dover Air Force Base Hospital where my father was stationed. Not far from there are the beaches where mom and dad had a small trailer. The story goes on to describe one of the largest hurricanes to strike the coast which also destroyed our trailer. A year later Terry was born, followed by Tina in Chandler Arizona. We lived in California, Texas, Arizona, and Delaware. When I was in High School I studied Electronics. When I graduated High School I enlisted in the US Navy as an electronic technician. I almost attended Spartan School of Aeronautics as an A&P. My second enlistment ended I left the Navy and found it very difficult to find work in Delaware but once I did, I attended college. I majored in Aviation Business Management, aviation was in a major downward cycle so I looked to finishing my degree. I was accepted at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott Arizona. Soon the business department shut down. I switched to Aerospace Engineering and successfully completed 4 years of study. There I met my future wife and here we are today.

I would suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.

Thank you for adding your DNA to WikiTree. Getting the Best from DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.
You mentioned that you don’t know much about your family tree yet. I assume you are fairly new to genealogy. No problem! Every genealogist is a beginner at some point. Take your time, keep track of sources and ask questions. Check here for tips.
Have fun collaborating on your ancestors
