Robert's Story

Update: July14 2022: Back in Thailand for 6 weeks moved into my condo in Bangkok. I will be coming back in December for 2 months. 😊 Update: This winter Dec 2021 through mid February 2022 . I spent 2 months in Thailand mostly in Bangkok during the week but traveled around the country and took lots of photes. I have uploaded a few of them. I walked an average of 9 miles a day while I was there. 1963 leaving Blue Island and Eisenhower HS I move to Washington state. I went to Bellingham HS for the rest of 1963. Then we moved to Hoquiam Washington where graduated from Hoquiam HS in 1964. About a year after i graduated I joined the Air Force and spent 13 years where I worked in electronics on long rang radar systems. While I was in the Air Foce station in Klamath California I got into commercial fishing for Salmon and crabing for Dungeness crab as a sideline business. During 1979 while stationed at North Bend Oregon and still commercial fishing for Salmon. The Salmon fishing got bad so I went to work on a friends larger 40 foot boat that was going out to fish Albacore 250 mile off the Oregon coast. It was a great experience. That was the last that I commercial fished. I got out of the Air Force in 1980. I went to work Hewlett Packard in Southern California (LA) on high end microwave instrumentation.for about a year while going to college. I left there and ended up working for Rockwell in Seal Beach Calif on the orginal GPS Satellite program as a Jr engineer on the navigational payload.

eporting to me. I left Rockwell in 1984 to work for TRW Space & Technology taking responsibility for a new EHF payload on the DSP (Defence Support Program) Satellites. I worked for TRW most of my career, working on numerous different programs, and launching satellites from Vandenberg AFB and Cape Canaveral. While at TRW I typically worked 1 program full time and 2 programs part-time averaging over 60+ hours per week. I loved the work it was always new and exciting with new problems to solve. Programs and customers would call me the help and seek my opinion. I took a early retirement from TRW in 2000 to take a director management position with Northrop Grumman on the SIBIRS High Program. About a yaer and a have later Hughes Space & Comm made me an offer I couldn't refuse. So I ended up finishing out my career Space Busness with Boeing Satellite Systems which bought Hughes Space & Comm. I work for Boeing the last 14 years before retireing in 2013 and moving to Idaho. Over my career I worked on numerous programs and held posistions of Electrical Engineer ,Cheit Designer, Sr Engineer, Sr Scientist, Project Manager, Program Manager, and Director. I am divorce and have 2 childern and 2 granddaughters. My daughter lives in N Carolina with her husband and 2 childern. My son graduated from UC San Diego with an electrical engineering degree this year. He lives Southern California. I live in Post Falls Idaho and I am active in the Pappy Boyington Marine Corps League. I go to the gym 3-5 days a week, hunt, fish, walk my German Shepherd Dax 2 miles a day and do some traveling.
