Life It's been a small while since I've even caught up with ANYONE from Trojan-land for long, long while. Let me put you up to date. After getting my Atmospheric Science degree from OSU, I decided to get a "real" job with Carnival Cruise line as a piano bar entertainer. After having a little too much "fun" with some of the various passengers, I was surreptitiously dropped off in San Juan, Puerto Rico to get my own way back to the mainland. It was shocking, but I wrote a great song about it. After that, I moved back home for a couple of months, saved money (happens to all of us, right), and got my Dispatcher license to work as a Forecaster/Air Traffic Controller for the airline industry. Great job, but bad timing as 9/11 occured 8 months later. After losing that job, I relocated to Denver for a couple of years. While occupying my time as a ski bum and a keyboardist in a few bands, I had a chance to perform as a musician on a private resort in southern Florida. After performing there for a few months, I had a chance to perform as a musician on The World. It is a cruise line in which the 'Residents' own their own apartments on the ship (you guessed it) as it travels around the world. I had to chance to travel to 4 different continents and approximately 35 countries, including most of South America, Latin American, Antarctica, and parts of Europe. It was quite a ride, but I finally had my share of the ocean and old, rich people...finally moving to Los Angel...Expand for more
