Robert's Story
Hello everyone,
Once I left THS, i went to several differnt colleges collecting my degrees in ech including Architechture,Marketing, and Television & Film Production. I started at Disney in late 87 and have done everything from running "It's a Small World" and "Tower of Terror" to loading and setting off the Magic Kingdoms "Wishes" and "Pirates & Princess Party" Fireworks. I received my training for pyro from the world's first family of fireworks, the Grucci's from Long Island. Went there for 2 weeks and learned everything about them. Also got a Degree from Purdue Univ. for Pyrotechnical Chemistry. I have also been a Lead Concierge at Disney's Grand Floridian resort for the last 8 years. One of my many roles is to assist with celebrities and Heads of state with their visits. Over the years at Disney, I have met some of the biggest names in the world, Including Bob Hope, George Burns, Bette White, John Ritter, Billy Joel,Celine Dion, Michael Jackson, George Lucas and Jim Henson. Even met Roy Disney once.(may he rest in peace) I can only say the the last 22 years here have been the most challenging and magical one could have imagined. Something always is changing and making it new every day. I'll add more as time goes on, but for now this is what my time will permit.
My 2 Dalmations Hercules, Lady and Kira.(Hercules...Expand for more
just Passed) Will and Grace, Star Trek Voyager especially 7 of 9, Comedy movies best but nothing lacking in class and taste.
If I could improve my home, I'd remodel roof and windows and add on a home theater and another bedroom. My dream home would be paid forby a winning lottry ticket.
If I won $100 million, I'd give a bit of it to church, then spend the rest on Bills, dream home and vacations.
My current age is 43. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be finacially secure. I was so completely wrong.
I plan to leave Disney soon and plan on applying for the Concierge at The Waldorf Astoria
My best friend would tell you I'm smart,and creative. But people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as quiet.Maybe thats why the beat me up alot and torchured me.
In 10 years, I hope to be healty and Finacially secure. I'm going to get there by leaving Disney.
I hated school as I was ALWAYS hated and picked on. It has done lots of dameage to me and will always hold those who did this to me accountable. I know my life has been in most parts good, but the amount of damage that was done to me in school has ruined my life and I really wish that i never was around. I know I didn't mean much to many, but I hate those who did this to me and I feel this is the only way I can let it out. Sorry.
