Phi Delta Theta Fraternity

What’s been happening:

I am a member of the PA Iota (Pitt) CAB and the PA Rho (CMU) Housing Corp. In 1994, I had the pleasure of being the colony advisor for the PA Xi (Clarion) chapter. My son Doug is also a brother of the PA Iota chapter. In 2014 we both attended the convention in Las Vegas. I was a delegate for the Pittsburgh Alumni Club and he was a delegate for the PA Iota chapter. This was my eighth convention. I officiate high school football. I have been a referee for 11 seasons. I usually do three to four games a week which pretty much ties up the Fall months. Most of my working years, I was as a commercial pilot. I was an airline pilot for most of that time and was in management the last 10 years. I was Senior VP of Airline Operations for Mesa Airlines. I have been retired from the airlines for several years but I still fly my plane. I try to make one long trip each year. Kansas City in 2006 for the Convention Visited several brothers who live in the South, that was 2007. Rapid City, South Dakota Bar Harbor, Maine in other years I was a commuter for the first few years in college. To make the drive everyday, I brought a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda. After 153,000, I parked the car in my parents backyard for several years. 16 years ago I had the car restored and started driving it again. I was elected to three terms as councilmen in Strattanville, PA when we lived there in the 80's and 90's. I am still very active in local party politics I have been married for 33 years to a girl who use to work for me when I managed a Drive-In theatre while in college. Proud to be a Phi!
