Richard's Story
Life
After high school, I fooled around at MC for two years before I realized college wasn't what I really wanted to do. So I went to drafting school. After drafting school, I got a job with Quanta Systems in Rockville (now they are in Gaithersburg) and worked as a draftsman for two years.
During those two years, I met and got engaged to KIm Robinson (Paint Branch HS, class of '85) At that point, Quanta needed someone to go to Scotland for 3 months, so I went. After a year, I came back, got married, and went back to Scotland. There, I installed various types of electronic...Expand for more
equipment as a contractor to the Navy. After 10 years, in 1995, the Navy announced they were closing the base and we were sent back to the states.
In the mean time, Kim and I had 4 kids: Richie, Lynsey, Sean & Megan. I then spent about 3 months in Naples, Italy and from there I went to Sugar Grove, WV for about 8.5 years. While in Sugar Grove, I got a Master Electrician's license in WV & also VA.
After 18 years of working on Navy sites, I decided broaden my experience, and am now working as an engineering tech for MC Dean - a large electrical contractor in Northern VA.
