About Me
After graduation in 1983, I moved to Santa Barbara, CA. In 1986 I was married then later we moved to Modesto CA. People say there are 2 types of California, the coast and Oklahoma… I lived in both. After having a son (Steven, now 20) we decided to move back east (both of us are from Long Island, NY). We wanted to be close to family but not too close so we chose RI. Some time in 1993 or 1994 I was divorced.
On 9/11/1999 was remarried a woman from one of our local fellowships, Rhonda Vallante and we recently celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. Rhonda has 2 boys of her own (Michael, now 23 and John, now 19).
I have always been involved with home fellowships and every other Sunday would go to a morning service that was held at a local hotel. The believers here decided to buy property and build a church to hold services every Sunday morning and have various events there. We just celebrated our 4th anniversary of the church. You can visit the web site at LivingFaithRI.org, you may even see some familiar faces in the photo section since there are a few Corps grads from here and we get visitors from other states (mainly NY).
My Interests
My interests are learning more about the scriptures and endeavoring to apply them. I enjoy being involved with our little church in any way that I can.
I like to work with digital photography and incorporate scriptures to them. I sell them in our church bookstore just so I can keep my hobby going.
Even though I haven’t done it in a while I like to golf, play tennis play softball, really any recreational sports that will not make me too sore the next week.
Employment or Career
Currently I am a Mortgage Loan Officer for Metrocities Mortgage but will be making a move very shortly to either a local Credit Union or a National Lender. I've been in the mortgage business for the past 10 years.
Music I Like
Mostly the older stuff. Whenever I turn on the radio I wind up on an oldies station or I flip to AM and listen to talk radio. If I put in a CD it's usually christian music.
Books I Like
Pop up books... no really I never read novels, I wait until the movie comes out. Mainly I read the Bible or some books with specific topics in the Bible. Sometimes I will read self help books geared toward sales or the mortgage and real estate industry.
Television I like
Prison Break, 24 most sporting events.
Movies I like
Braveheart, The Patriot, I liked the HBO mini series John Adams, Dumb and Dumber, Something About Mary and many more.
Sports Teams I like
NY Yankees, NY Giants, NY Jets, NE Patriots.

Wow you and I were really great friends back in day. Do you remember me. I was Melanie Davis 7th corps went to Norway? I forgot all about you but when I visit my cousin in the West Hamptons every fall I think of you still. What are you up to these days, I remember how nice you are. Great guy. Melanie Davis
I continue to thank God for people like you who brought cameras with them. Thanks so much for posting all the great photos. You forgot to take any of me, but I forgive you.
You may not remember me, but we were together at Gunnison during the fall of '82. Your humor was always a bright spot for me while in residence. I still laugh when I think of your contribution to the talent show: the cigarette tricks and your opening comments about "making smoking more enjoyable".
It's great to see you here. Love to you and yours,
Hank Altheide
I certainly enjoyed your photos--they're priceless. I don't even think I owned a camera that worked in the Corps!! I haven't been on the WC site in a while, so thought I'd take some time to browse tonight. By the way, you and I share the same birthday, except you are one year older than me. Happy 50th!!! Blessings to you. Donna
Great photos brother! Enjoyed the slide shows.
Love and blessings!

Blessings, Emily

Loved looking at all the pictures you posted and reading your bio, and am so thankful you have kept the faith... even more importantly, that you have kept the love!
Sorry it took so long to answer. My computer was running so slow but it is better. I can't get on this site at school because we can't get into chat room sites. I enjoyed the pictures! It sure brought back memories. We were so young then! You were a lot of fun also! I spent some time with Linda a few years back. She lives in Va. Beach. She is still beautiful and her daugher is gorgeous! My son is a year younger than her daughter and he was totally toungue tied around her. You are looking good! Maybe around CHristmas break I will figure how to upload pictures on here. I have some pictures from the Way Corps also. THey made it through the flood of 93 and the Flood of 2008! Take care!
Remember me? Linda West MEdina and I used to love to bug you! SOunds like you are doing great. My computer is really messed up right now so I can't see your photos. I saw you on Maria's page.
