Walter's Story

Life Have three daughters Brittiany, Ashley, and Kaetlyn, a wonderful wife (Melodi). Life has been good so far. I've been working in .com companies developing software, in and around the LA area for the past 15 years. I'm now the director of engineering at an online lead generation and marketing company, Vantagemedia.com, for colleges and universities. In 2005, I also got my pilot's license and added an instrument rating. Yes, this led to another new hobby, that got me involved in some local politics and now I'm the president of the Oxnard airport association. Besides that, I enjoy spending time I have with my new daughter Kaetlyn, and wife Melodi. We also have a new addition on the way coming February 2008. Busy but happy.
