Mr. Hushbeck grew up an "Air Force Brat" with his childhood spent moving every few years. In Southern California he met his lovely wife, Hanna, and they married in 1975. Shortly after that, Mr. Hushbeck joined the Air Force. After his four years were up, however, Mr. Hushbeck decided that enough of his life had been spent moving for the military, and he left to go to school. He returned to Southern California in 1980. In 2007, he left Southern California for Wisconsin and hopes that he does not have to move again.
