Born in Hermann Hospital, Houston, Texas to Ladgie Cyril Krchnak a Nasa engineer and Sandra DeZurko-Smith Krchnak, daughter of poet and art historian Edward Robert DeZurko.

As a child, appeared on the frontpage of the Houston Chronicle during a civil rights march.

Worked as a lifeguard, tutor, and an art/frame shop manager during college years.

Bassist and singer for 2DK in Okayama, Japan.

Called US embassy to report an attack by construction workers which caused a head injury.

Married Kumiko Ota in Fayetteville, Texas. Kumiko's father was a manager of a well-known bizenyaki kiln along the Seto Inland Sea.

Owner of Alamo in Okayama, Japan, a private English language school.

Called US embassy again to complain about the lackluster response to the foiling of massive Bojinka plot. Failed to get through to Ms. Oishi who I'd spoken to previously.

Reliability Engineer for AWTEC in Torrance, California.

Stalked, grabbed by the throat and pinned to my car as I tried to escape my Japanese supervisor. A Japanese-American co-worker was also assaulted while attempting to calm and remove him. Events resulted in a lawsuit (Blake) Austin v Awtec.

Sought counseling as fears of Bojinka plotter regrouping surfaced. Asked counselor for help to report these concerns to authorities and advised they look in our flight schools for the plotters.

Weeks later, Epstein, Becker, and Green, representing Awtec, demanded my signature on the counselor's notes. The only benefit I saw in giving them my signature was if the Center also agreed to give law enforcement my deepest concerns about our failed Bojinka response. Without acknowledging this error, there was a strong likelihood that regrouped Bojinka plotters appearing in our flight schools and casing our airports would not be stopped in time. I felt the plotters most likely method of attack would be the simultaneous hijacking of planes which would be flown into highprofile targets across the US and possibly Europe, too. In other words, having failed to destroy the Philippine Flight to Tokyo with explosive, and seeing the magnitude of their Bojinka plans, I was struck with the realization that the plotters' focus had shifted to inflicting massive damage and casualties through suicide missions.

I underwent therapy over a year and spent a good deal of time discussing the Bojinka response problem. I felt if my signature on the notes would help authorities stop this plot from proceeding, it would be worth whatever embarassment I may suffer as a result of Awtec's lawyers having access to any other information gleaned in the course of the year.
