David's Story

Workplace Most of my classmate probably don't remember me. I was not in the "social" groups. When I graduated, I joined the Army. I went to boot camp and then to Germany for a year or so. I got out of the Army in 1974 and then joined the Navy in 1975. I was in the Navy for 9 1/2 years, most of it in the Submarine Forces. I got out of the Navy in August on 1984 and was in college by September. After a few years of working and attending community college making up for the excellent education we received at Lakeville, I was accepted at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. In 1992, I graduated from Cal Poly with an engineering degree. Since then, I have been working for companies that use robotic equipment. For the last five years, I have been working for a company that makes automated currency counters. We sell these to the Federal Reserve bank, commercial banks, casinos, racetracks, armored car companies and anybody else who has thousands of bank notes they need to count every day. I have 3 Yellow Labradors. I have a wife that works in software. We own a house in Oakland Ca. I still hunt and fish as much as work allows. We are leaving in two days for a fishing trip in Baja Mexico. I have been hunting and fishing since I was old enough to hold a fishing pole. When I was young and at home, the game and fish I brought home helped out with the f...Expand for more
ood budget. Since then, I have continued because I enjoy being outdoors, competing with the animals and fish and I love to eat what I bring home. Because I have been taking from nature for so many years, I have always tried to give back by donating money to various environmental groups that help out the wildlife. In 2003, I decided to take a more active role. I have taken on the task of turning 7,000 acres of high desert land in the Sierras into a wildlife refuge. I have recruited a group of volunteers and each year we work to turn this property into what it was 100 years ago. We are clearing thousands of Juniper trees which are an invasive species that is taking over the landscape. We are planting plant species that the wildlife need for food. We are restoring water sources that dried up when the Junipers moved in. We are fencing those water sources so that the wildlife can use them but the cattle can not get to them and ruin them. We are building nesting boxes for ducks and owls. We are creating large brush piles that the quail, rabbits and other small wildlife use for nesting and security. Plus a lot of other projects that the wildlife will benefit from. For some reason they won't let me enter our web page address here. So, I will try it this way. triple w dot cooncampsprings dot com Come visit us and see what we are up to.
