David's Story

Well, here goes nothin'. Any of you that know me well enough, know that I moved to Washington Crossing Pa. the summer before our Senior year. That sucked! I actualy graduated from Council Rock H.S. in Newtown, Bucks Co. Pa. in '85. But since I had gone through school w/many of you since Gym Jams at the S.P. YMCA, I still consider myself a member of SPFHS class of '85. After graduation, I tried college for a yaer, but it wasn't my cup of tea. So I went into the construction ind. for a while. I even had a house framing business for a while, until I found out my business partner was ripping me off blind. After that, I obtained my commercial drivers liscense and got into the garbage business, working for a small mom and pop company. During that time, St. Patricks day of '89 to be exact, I met my wife to be, Debbie. We were married on Nov.9, 1991. After the blizzard of '93, we decided we were sick of the snow and cold, and moved to St. Petersburg Fl. My sister was living in Tampa. I got a job w/Waste Management as a driver. After 8 months, I was promoted to supervisor. I stayed w/Waste for several years until I was recruited away to another, upstart garbage co. in Tampa as an Operations Manager. That was a joke and didn't last long. In 1996, a neighbor/friend approached me about starting a temporary staffing co. He had previous experience in the temp ind. so we wnt for it w/several other partners. Business wnt well for acouple of years. We had offices in Tampa, St. Pete and Nashville Ten. But we hired a controller who was a lying theiving B*tch and stole a L...Expand for more
OT of money. So we ended up bankrupt. Sucks to be us. So hi-ho, hi-ho it's back to trash I go. Went to work for a fairly new company called Republic Services. It was formed by the original owners of Waste Management, so I figured how bad could it be. I started off as a driver, again. But that was OK,as I was making more money that all of the supervisors were. During this time and after many heart breaks, my wife became preg. w/our first, JW. JW stands for John Wayne(named after his grandfathers - NOT THE ACTOR). In 2001, they finally changed the payscale for mgt. and I accepted a supervisors possition. In 2003, I applied for and was given a promotion to Operations Manager in Asheville, NC. The only hard part was that my wife, Debbie, was pregnant w/our 2nd, Jason. So 6 weeks after his birth, we loaded up and moved to Asheville, and we are still here. It is a beautiful part of the country, and I enjoy the change of the seasons again. My Boys, now 8 and 4, are more than a handfull. Any of you w/kids understand. I promise I know more about what is going on w/Sponge Bob, Drake and Josh, than I do w/local news. But that is OK. For those of you that remember, I played drums in HS, and still do. While in Fl, I played in several bands and had alot of fun doing it. Havn't played much up here, but I just found a few guys to hook up with recently. If I'm not at work, cubscouts, t-ball, baseball, etc.. I restore old Jeeps on the side. My current project is a '79 CJ-5. Well, I guess thats abou it in a nutshell. Hope y'all are well and feel free to contact me. Dave
