Butch was a proud veteran of the U.S. Army serving during the Vietnam War until his honorable discharge. He taught in the Silo schools before starting his career in computer programing. He has worked all over the world and loved to travel. Butch worked for N.A.S.A. and helped with designing parts for Air Force One for the President.
