From a family of 8 kids, I am the oldest sibling; I'm also an identical twin (dec). I became a father in 1991, when Shelly Oerman was born. In 1998, I met Lillie Hardin, the woman I would eventually marry, online; I traveled to South Florida in January 1999 to meet her, and the love affair has continued ever since. We married in June 2002, in York, PA, and have been living together since. Her daughter, Dannielle, came into my life during this period, and she wasted no time in showing her strength of character and love of family. I graduated from high school in Elgin, Illinois, and started attending college there (which I self-financed). After moving back to my home town of York, PA, funds for continuing education became scarce, so I took a position with a small HVAC company, owned/operated by my father. I came in at entry level, i.e., grunt helper; worked my way up to Vice President. Our company took a downturn in the economy hard, and we ended up shuttering in 2010. Thereafter, I took a position with a local HVAC and appliance company in Key Largo, Florida, which predicated relocating to the Florida Keys. Currently, I am back in the employment marketplace, and looking to join with a company who would make use of my years of experience in customer service, management, HVAC design and installation, and technical service and training.
