Kenneth's Story
Workplace
I have worked for only two companies since graduating HS. The first for only three years and the second for 23 years. I have been a Quality Engineer for a number of years then moved into management. I am currently the Director of Quality for a very large Defense company. I travel a lot, mostly to the east coast. This travel has built up my frequent flyer milege enough to allow our family to go to Hawaii and Europe -- so there are pluses.
I have been married to my best friend, Kerri, now for 20 years. We have two GREAT kids, Alicia & Christopher, but he likes to be called Chris. Alicia is currently attending Sonoma State where she's enrolled in the nursing program. She plans to transfer her Jr year to UCSD where she'll begin her Nursing Practioner program.
Christopher is currently a Jr at Esperanza HS in Yorba Linda, CA where we've lived for 20 years. He loves golf and has been on the golf team all 3 years.
I took up SCUBA diving with Tim Brown, fellow classmate, soon after HS. I then went on to take every SCUBA class they had to offer. I guess I kinda liked it...even the Instructor's class where I became an Instructor and helped to teach with a great group of friends at Santa Ana JC for 4 years.

h is a real challenge - saltwater and electronics don't mix well -- I know... but you can take some incredible images that many people don't ever get to see in real life.

One of my wife's clients owns a wheel MFG company and we've all become great friends. Check them out RenegadeWheels, you'll see my picture in their gallery section, as well as my bike. Motorcycling has gotten us in to a great group of friends -- and no, its nothing like our mothers warned us about. I go riding several times a year with some incredible people, including Ivan "Ironman" Stewart, Walker Evans, and most recently Parnelli Jones.
I went on an invitation only ride with Hot Bike Magazine to Sturgis, SD in 2007. One of the most amazing events in my life. It took 4 days to get there, it rained on us for two of them, but what a ride - 1536 miles.
Well, I guess that's it for now. Feel free to send me a note -- I visit here about once a month. Home email is kwgrimes2002(at)prodigy(dot)net (they won't let you post this using the real symbols, but you'll need to for the address to work).
Take Care, Ken
