Deanna's Story
I am extremely lucky to have great family and awesome friends. I have been married to Rick Welch since 1997 and we don't have any kids (by choice), but we do have two cats and a dog that are like children to us.
I am one of the few people who can say "I love my job" and actually mean it. I have been working for VF Outdoor, Inc. for over 8 years and hope to work here many more years. We are a coalition that is made up of The North Face, JanSport, Vans, Reef, Eastpak, and Napapijri. So if you're familiar with any of these brands, you can see why I love working here.
I feel that I found the band of my dreams in BÜTCHER. It is the kind of band I always hoped I would be a part of. In BÜTCHER, I am only known by my middle name "Roch Elle" or Roch (pronounced Roach), for short. I have the best bandmates ever in Elio Dias, Brian Kenney, and Michael Cardoza (BTW - Michael gratuated SLHS in 1991).
Music is my escape and my love. It is so powerful that it can completely take over my mood rule me emotionally. There's never a moment I don't have a song playing in my head, whether I want it or not; w...Expand for more
hether I like it or not . . . . . but I always appreciate it.
When I write lyrics for BÜTCHER I am much braver than I really am. I am able to write (and sing about) things that I wish I could just come out and say. Sometimes I worry that someone will read between the lines and discover the real me. But sometimes I worry that no one will notice at all.
I have my own head and heart and try to be understanding and supportive of others rather than judgmental. Every person is different. Every situation is different. I am the only one I have control over and I am the only one I can change. So I try to improve myself daily. And I trust that everyone around me will take control and responsibility of themselves.
I usually learn something from every mistake I make and try not to make the same one twice. All I want is to be a good person.
What else can I tell you about myself? Hmmmmmm. At the moment, I can't think of anything else to say. Besides, I may have already said too much considering I am my least favorite subject.
So you have a good one and take good care, all!! Thanks for reading!
