Dan's Story

Born in Watsonville (next to Santa Cruz, CA), lived in Oakhurst 1976-1984, then Madera 1984-1989, then Auberry 1989-1991. Went to elementary/middle schools in Oakhurst and Fresno.
At Sierra, I was that quiet, yet mischevious fellow with the long blonde hair (or at least one of them). I usually managed to keep out of real trouble (until a certain girl came along, of course). I lived in Madera Ranchos until my Senior year, when I lived in Auberry. I drove a '59 chevy pickup and an old sports car (see photo).
After graduating from Sierra, I went to CSU, Fresno. I also worked at Table Mountain Casino for awhile. Somehow managed to get my Bachelor's despite the sex/drugs/rock'n'roll that went ...Expand for more
along with that job.
I got a Bachelor's and Master's degrees (and finally cut my hair somewhere in that time) between 1990 and 2003. I got married during that time, and my wife and I now have 4 beautiful children.
After working as an engineer for awhile, I decided to try my hand at college teacher. I thought I'd better get a PhD first, so I had to move to Iowa for awhile. After 2 years of doctoral work and another year of temporary teaching, I was finally hired at a university full time. This brings me to my current location, in Connecticut. I am teaching classes in manufacturing, engineering, and safety management.
If you aren't independently wealthy or from here, Connecticut pretty much sucks. And nothing beats the West Coast, so I hope to get back someday soon.
