I grew up in southern Ohio, the eleventh of eighteen children and upon graduating high school in 1984 I joined the US Navy, a machinist mate in the nuclear power program which brought me to Idaho Falls in 1985. I met my wife of 37 years, Barbara (Anderson) Newberry, in Idaho Falls, when I was a student at the Naval Reactors Facility. When I was discharged from the Navy after eight years, in 1992, we settled in Idaho Falls with our three children, and we now have ten grandchildren. I spent many years at the Naval Reactors Facility, a dozen years or so as a Radiological Controls Supervisor, and then I moved into project management as a Planner/Scheduler performing cost estimates and scheduling, prior to moving to INL as a project scheduler. I have been a senior project manager at Premier Technology in Blackfoot and currently I am a senior scheduler on the Spent Fuel Handling Facility construction project at NRF.
