David's Story

Life After graduating from Claremont, I attended college at UC Santa Barbara. UCSB was great. I was mostly there for a good time and I definitely accomplished that. I joined Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and was an active member for 4+ years. I was the IFC Rush Chair during my senior year and I graduated with a degree in Communications. After graduation I moved to Orange County to work for Enterprise Rent A Car. I lived down in Balboa a few blocks from the fun zone. I made a bunch of friends at ERAC and enjoyed the living at the beach for three years. I moved from Balboa to Costa Mesa with my girlfriend and future wife Kimberly. We met during our senior year at UCSB. We lived in the Vista Del Lago apartment complex close to the Costa Mesa Golf Course. I worked for ERAC for another year while Kimberly worked at the Four Seasons Hotel at Fashion Island. I left ERAC and began working for Sika Corporation and Kim began her career working for non-profits. Kimberly and I got married in 1997 at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Costa Mesa. Our reception was at the Surf & Sand Hotel in Laguna Beach. We bought our first home in Orange in 1999. We lived a block away from Chapman University on Shaffer St. I enrolled at Chapman University and received my MBA t...Expand for more
here in 2001. Kim worked for the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana. During the summer of 2000, I had the opportunity visit Hong Kong, Shenzen, Guangzhou, Beijing, Bangkok, and Phuket for my international business class at Chapman. I had the opportunity to visit the Forbidden City and the Great Wall which were unbelievable. In 2002, Sika offered to move Kim and I to Northern California. We decided that a change of scenery might be good for us and we took the offer. We packed up all of our stuff and moved to the SF Bay Area. We purchased our 2nd home in San Ramon, about 40 minutes from SF. Kim took a job at UC Berkeley's law school, doing development (fundraising). It has been a great opportunity for her and she is currently a major gift officer for Boalt. I coached Little League teams for Pleasanton Foothill Little League in 2003 and 2004. I left Sika at the end of 2003 and began working in the mortgage banking industry. Our daughter Kristen was born in March of 2004 at San Ramon Regional Medical Center. She has been wonderful so far and we are enjoying being parents. In June 2005 I opened up my own mortgage brokerage in San Ramon five minutes from my house. The business has been doing well and we are looking for more opportunities down the road.
