Arne's Story
Life
Graduated from John Mall HS in '77. Went to Colorado Mountain College and worked at Copper Mountain Ski Area for two years. Early '80s were spent getting a BS-Business Marketing degree from the University of Idaho. Then spent two years acquiring an International Bilingual MBA through New Mexico Highlands University and the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid in Spain.
Have worked professionally as an economist at the New Mexico State Department of Labor and as Director of Quality Management for a division of the Spanish National Railway (RENFE). Currently self-employed and the owner of two small businesses. Now divorced from my wife after a 22 year marriage and three kids and two grandchildren, Two of the kids and both grandsons live in Spain. I live in Arvada, Colorado in the Denver suburbs but am looking at acquiring...Expand for more
land in south central Colorado soon and leaving the metro rat race.
Currently run my businesses, help my adult kids and grandsons as much as possible, and try to get as much exercise as time allows. I used to love to run (4:22 mile in my 20s and 18:05 5K; 6-minute flat mile, 22:20 5K in my 50s) as well as bike, play tennis and basketball but a fall from a third story roof in my 20s has caught up to me in later years with a bad ankle making some of those activities difficult now. I do start almost every day with exercise and lifting weights and I can still fit into my custom-tailored wedding suit.
All in all, I'm a happy person and try to give a smile to those I meet who seem to find smiling a challenge. Life's too short not to be happy. True happiness is a decision we make; it doesn't depend on anyone or anything but us.
