Lance Winters--Part Two

Lance is a thoughtful, caring man. He usually likes to think through a problem before acting upon it and is strong in his convictions.

He served in the US Army for over 40 years, first in the medical corp, then on to communications and IT work before retiring. He was very good at his job and retired a few years ago at the rank of full colonel.

Lance was born on a military base near Anchorage in the beautiful state of Alaska where his father was stationed at the time. He enjoyed playing in the snow, riding on snow mobiles, and racing dog sleds with his friends until his father was transferred to the warmer climate of Hawaii.

His family lineage is traced back to England, with some Irish, German, and a bit of French thrown in for good measure. His wife, Stormy, jokingly claims his occasional flare up of temper must come from the Irish blood in him.

Lance loves football (he played it in High School, but hurt his knee and couldn’t play in college), computer gaming, gardening (grows the best roses in the north Phoenix area), hiking, skiing, bicycling, and barbequing with the family or friends.

Most of all, he loves his wife, Stormy. He would do anything for her and tends to worry about the way she seems to always walk in on danger.
