Veteran's Pre-College Upward Bound

Dwain Kingry

I was born in Charleston, West Virginia. I graduated from Herbert Hoover High School in Clendenin, West Virginia where I played baseball and football.

In 1971, I enlisted in the United States Navy. Attending college part time during numerous tours of duty, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Management from Northwood University, Midland, Michigan. I retired in 1995 with over 24 years of active duty.

Returning to civilian life, I started working for a government contractor as an Application Systems Analyst in New Orleans, Louisiana. Due to a job transfer we relocated to East Tennessee.

In my spare time I enjoy gardening, landscaping and an occasional round of golf with friends. My wife Priscilla, also a 20-year Navy veteran, and I live in Maryville, Tennessee.
