JERRY MCGOVERN
========================================
After graduation from SDHS, I enrolled at UW-M for the next 2 years, while I worked in the Liberty Bakery. Next I enrolled at MIT for a year, then saw a computer class at MBTI so I learned computers. My first job was at AC Electronics and worked on the NASA program to put man on the moon - APOLLO.
In 1967, I dec...Expand for more
ided to move to the west coast for warm weather. I took a transfer to Santa Barbara - Goleta with AC-DRL GM research facility. We simulated the guidance system to the moon and later the Lunar Roving Vehicle - LRV. One day the program ended so I found a GRC-Compucenter job.
I wanted a better job as Supervisor of the Computer Lab at the County of Santa Barbara for the next 5 years. I worked on a USC education to achieve a Computer Instructor Degree and taught at SBCC for 5 years. In 1977, I started the first computer shop to program and sell the Polymorphic computers. The company lasted until 1982 and finally closed. During my free time from 1980 till 1984, I designed and built an electric car using no gas and had 3 forms of power. Assembly after the prototype was too costly.
I then moved to Ventura and began a career with the Cadillac Dealer and became #1 in sales. My career lasted until 1993 and I was number one at 6 different Cadillac Dealers. I reunited with my ex-wife and moved to San Diego to sell cars and entered the Dot.com internet sales business. The jobs ended and I suggested moving back to Santa Barbara County to buy a Manufactured home in Buellton. Jobs were hard to come by so I went to Bacara Resort in Goleta in 2002 - started in Security. I still work as the ON-Call driver of the shuttle van. Five years ago, I started selling Manufactured homes and have the license and a good record of sales. Three years ago, I underwent a four way heart bypass surgery. Since recovery, I get up each day at 5:30am and relish the Sunrise. I am very Positive, grateful, and happy.... Earth is a beautiful place to live!
I like the Cadillacs and restored my 1979 Coupe Deville Calais. It is Saxony red with a white Cabriolet top and white leather seats. Runs great!
