Interesting detail about the '70s in the Smokejumper article.
Not all of this detail was in the Smartvoter articles, I believe (the 1975 Santa Rosa thing, or Napa Community College). There's some references in the Smartvoter articles but not the 1975 date.
He jumps from Vietnam to Saudi Arabia directly in his resume. But here he confirms 1975 in Santa Rosa
They are referred to in text in other Smartvoter writing
In 1975, prior to going to Saudi Arabia, I'd worked for the Santa Rosa Public Schools and taught journalism at Napa Community College.
Fleeing the Iranian Revolution in 1979, I'd settled in Redondo Beach, near Los Angeles. I was special assistant to Northrup University's dean of the College of Engineering.
Later I headed an Upward Bound program for disadvantaged youth in the Watts section of Los Angeles. Then I was a technical writer for Garrett Aircraft, Inc., in Compton, a company under contract with the Department of Energy to purify uranium for nuclear weapons. After an in-depth investigation, the department granted me a top-secret clearance
