Mike's Story
After graduation I joined the U S Army Special Forces at Ft Bragg NC, then off to Viet Nam for a year (Combat decorated, honorably discharged). Upon my return I enrolled in college in Southern Cal. met my wife to be and got married after my first semister (Graduated in Miami). We raised three children; Michael Jr., James, and Cynthia (Pictured with me, her husband of 12 years, and my two grandchildren on our annual trip to Sedona Arizona.) My wife developed breast cancer in our 28th year of marriage and passed away soon after diagnosis. My sons Michael, and James both graduated from UNLV, Michael is with MGM Mirage in Las Vegas as a Food and Beverage Manager, and James lives in Austin TX, and is employed by the state of Texas. Cynthia is here in Temecula, CA near me, she and her husband are both in hotel/hospitality management. My grand daughters...Expand for more
own me; lock, stock, and barrel, and are possibly responsible for me not buying any more engagement rings. I spent 20 years in areospace in Program Management, and Engineering with McDonnel Douglas, and Pratt & Whitney on such programs as DC-10, Sky Lab, F15, F16 and the early development of the YF22. I grew weary of Aerospace after 20 years and accepted a position (from an ex Green Beret buddy) as a junior executive in the gaming industry. I have since opened 5 casino resorts in Nevada, Mississippi, and here in California. Sure beats Aerospace. I have been with Pechanga Resort & Casino for 10 yrs. as the Vice President of Facilities and Development, we have a 500 room hotel, golf course, and the largest gaming area in the western US including Las Vegas. I enjoy my children, grand children, sports cars, traveling, working out, and being single.
