David's Story
Well let's see... after spending my first 9 months (after graduation from EHS) pondering what I would do, I finally got "flim flammed" into joining the Air Force (by none other than my oldest brother). My time started out a bit slow but eventually I adjusted and spent the next 20 years living everywhere from Ohio to Colorado to Turkey, Germany, Greece, Spain and Florida; all of which I must say were definitely wonderful years and priceless experiences. I was married for 9 of those 20 years and have two children, well now, young adults (David and Jasmine) who live in Maryland and Florida, respectively. I also managed to earn a couple of degrees, A.A.S. in Contracts Management and a B.A. in Business Management. I speak fluent Spanish, and nearly fluent Russian, also French and Turkish, so all the travel has not been a waste!
I have spent the past 10 years working as a Contracts Manager for major de...Expand for more
fense contractors - Halliburton, Parsons, Northrop Grumman, and my current company WorleyParsons, which is an Australian company that basically bought out a large part of Parsons. Just as the first 20 years, I have worked mostly abroad in the past 10 years too; in places/countries like Israel(Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Africa (Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Congo and Djibouti), China (Beijing, Russia (Moscow and Chelyabinsk), UAE (Dubai), Bahrain and quite a few other interesting countries; I wouldn't trade my experiences for nothing in the world.
I permanently reside in Orlando, Florida, well at least that's where my primary home is, and I love it there in the Central Florida/"dirty south!" However, the "ville" will always be my home and I normally am there at least 4 to 5 times a year.
I'm not sure what else to write for now but I will add/update as I get time.
Wow, it's been a short 31 years, to say the least!
