Karl's Story
Life
After high school, I served in the navy for four years as a Fire Control Technician aboard two different ships; both home ported in Norfolk, Virginia. Had a great opportunity to see several countries in Europe and Africa.
Following the military, I moved to Muskegon, Michigan and obtained my Associate Degree in electronics and was hired by Sperry Avionics in Phoenix.
Over the years, I worked as an electronic technician, in Quality Assurance, Production Supervision and Business Planning. Somewhere in between all this, I reluctantly returned to school and got my BSBA.
Sperry was bought out several times and now it is part of Honeywell. Honeywell manufactures co...Expand for more
ckpit displays and flight computers for business and commercial aircraft.
I have three children from a previous marriage and have been married since November 2000 to Judy.
In August 2002, I was laid off from Honeywell after 23 years. Thank goodness for the severance plan!
I decided to change careers and in June 2004, I graduated from cosmetology school. I now work with my wife in a mobile salon service. We go to the homes of those who are unable to travel and offer hair and nail services. Most of our clients are elderly and reside in assisted living homes. The work is extremely enjoyable and rewarding. I never want to go back to 9 to 5 sitting in a cubicle.
