Arnie's Story
Life
I had the pleasure to attend my senior year at CCHS in 1979 and in that short time I met some really nice people. After graduation I contemplated between going to Arizona State or Florida State. Ironically I choose neither and joined the nuclear Navy where I toughed out 5 years. From there I went to work for United Airlines in Los Angeles where I stayed for 7 years and met my wife Tracy, we married in 1987. I was offered a position with a small biotechnology company located in Thousand Oaks about 70 miles north of L.A.; that was on the brink of launching its first drug - which became a multibillion dollar blockbuster called EPOGEN and was the beginning to becoming the worlds largest biotech company. I've been here ever since and have been blessed to have landed here. ...Expand for more
We have two children, Nick age 19 and Katie age 10 - both are fantastic kids! Nick is in his second year of college and my Katie is in the 5th grade. My oldest son Jeremy age 30 graduated from the University of Wyoming and has been working with the Social Security Office for the last 6 years and is managing an office in South Dakota.
Currently my hobby is bicycle racing. I am racing cross country mountain bikes, cyclocross and 24 hour endurance races. Training keeps me busy as does the race schedule. Tracy has been my number one fan/pit boss/feed zone master/coordinator you name it she's got it under control. Nick joined me on my last 24 hour race in September where we formed a 5 man team and finished in 4th place out of 18 teams - not bad for 4 rookies and an old guy!
