Mark's Story
Mark's schools include Miami Carol City High School. He later attended Westwood College. He works(ed) at Was fired from Home Depot, The Home Depot.
After I quit high school I rode my motorcycle with 3 other friends from Miami to some little town south of San Antonio Texas. I had got rear ended in Houston ,Texas and wound up returning to Miami. We were heading to California.Got a job as a heavy equipment operator and made it into the union during the time I was married to Debra Adamcik.
Moved back to Orange,California in 1970 and got a job driving a forklift which lead me into the purchasing dept. 2 years later. I married a gal named Linda Tarnef and was promoted to Director of Purchasing and moved to Northern California. The company was bought out by a corporation and it went belly up.
My brothers Karl and Ralph and I could not get a job in 1975 due to recession, gas crisis and Affirmative Action. Jobs were extremely hard to get so we went into business ourselves fixing mobile homes. This lead us into many facets of ...Expand for more
construction and we all got contractor licenses.
I had some major problems with back and knee pain and had to quit construction. I went to Westwood college and got my A.S. Degree hoping to break into some computor job however all the kids that got degrees are willing to work for $12-15 an hour. As this was not acceptable to me I got a B drivers license and started driving tanker trucks which was fun for a couple of years but very hard on the back. Went to work for Home Depot as a door and window Sales Specialist and after 7.25 years was fired as I was a high priced employee and the Depot has been winnowing us out to keep down store cost.
I retired and started collecting my SS benefits at 63 and now work as a handyman which keeps me as busy as I want to be.
I have been single since 1987 as I have such a wonderful family and many friends and see no reason to complicate my life with a relationship unless an independent women who won't put all these demands on MY TIME should enter my life then I will die single.
