David's Story
Life
Whew has it been over 20 years already?!..Okay in a nutshell here goes--FCCJ(remember when it was "Fruit Juice College!)..UNF til I was kicked out. Then I joined the Marine Corps and was given the luxury of al expense paid travel to great desert hot spots like Yuma AZ and Fallon, Nevada...Finished college at UNF during a ten year stretch, gettinga BA in Communications in 1996..After 6 months of Corp. PR I decided to do some real living and sold everything and went to work in several National Parks. I finished out my run at Denali National Park in Alaska.
I met my wife Traci there during the summer of 2005, courted her for a little over a year, we were married and now have two children.
Being in Alaska was like being a kid again, having never had a true winter in Florida. Unfortunately I have had to tone it down some, The years I catching up with me .
We have recently moved to Katy Texas for the next stage of our lives...FAMILY!..and the culture shock is slowly wearing off. Alaska will always be closest to my heart, however it is great to be closer to our families.
I at one time drove...Expand for more
tourists into Denali Park in the summer, as well as worked on my photography. That by far was one of the most uniquely memorable experiences, and occasionally frightening, of my life(next to fatherhoof of course). I currently am a firefighter paramedic full-time with a local fire department in Texas
Out of the 550 or so kids I graduated with, I didn't really keep in touch with anyone...anyone after high school, unless we went to UNF together or were neighbors. It just happened that way. I am always curious to see how everyone is, though. I am not interested in returning to J'vile other than to visit family, and eventually hope to travel again.
What else can I write? Heck, you all knew me. What you see is what you get. I am older, somewhat smarter, have less hair, am more creative both artistically and in all my relationships, and am enjoying the people and opportunities in this life.
No point going through life with alot of regrets, you know.
You can find my mail at either yho or hotml, it is my name at those respective addresses. I am a cheap ba$tard like that...
Enjoy life-Dave Croke
