I was born Kansas City, MO. but was living in Texas when I went overseas for a Site Manager position in Riyadh 1988. I worked in Saudi from 1988 - 2003 and then to Doha and Bahrain from 2003-2011. Last year I was in Afghanistan for a year and now I am back in Riyadh for another contract. I guess you can say, I am a professional expat.
I joined expat.com on 21 February 2013.
