George's Story
Life
I can't believe it's been 16 years since high school. Time flies. Anyways, I stayed in Omaha through college working at the Target on 132nd & Center for most of the time and living at home. Not a bad arrangement - tuition was cheap and the job provided decent drinking money. Once I graduated things got a little more interesting. I ended up with a job working for Peter Kiewit Sons' and getting married. My job ended up getting me transferred to a communications company that was bought by WorldCom and I ended up moving to Mississippi. I have countless stories of life in MS and working for WorldCom during its hayday but the short version is it sucked. I ended up getting an offer to work for a startup telecom called Level 3 Communications that was ramping up...Expand for more
back in Omaha. I ended in Omaha for 3 months before Level 3 transferred me to Broomfield, CO. I've been here ever since. I work in the corporate treasury group managing and raising cash. Colorado is great (beats the hell out of Mississippi) but I still get back to Omaha several time a year. I've been married now for 7 years and have a 2 year & 1 month old sons which is the coolest thing to ever happen to me. I ended up going back to school a while ago and finished an MBA. Now when I'm not working, I mostly hangout with my wife and little guys, walk our dog, hike and ride my bike. We live in Longmont which is about 7 miles NE of Boulder and try to take advantage of the nearby mountains at least once a month. Well that's the last sixteen years in a nutshell.
