Roger's Story
Life
I will list in a short manner highlights of my life since I left High School.
Joined the United States Air Force. Served for four years active duty, and seven years reserve. I worked as an aircraft mechanic on B-52's and KC-135's.
Met and Married Sherry Robinson on April 25th 1980, We are still married, soon to celebrate our 34th anniversarry.
We have two sons (Michael, and Matthew) ages 32, and 31. Both have two college degrees. We aslo have two granchildren Carter, and Tyler.
I owned and operated construction company in Northern Illinois suburbs until 1996, when I decided to take the money and run (so to speak), so we sold our home and business to attend college. I currently Hold two degrees.
While attending school I worked for a major worldwide manufacturer, and and two engineering companies. I worked as a Senior manufacturing engineer for an automotive facility for quite a few years. I worked with several other engineers I attended college with, It was fun to design and build things.
We love Ebay and are also powersellers there. We design and manufacture car emblems. We are GM and Ford licensed manufacturers. We have run this business full time for the past 10 years. We ...Expand for more
sell our items on eBay, our website, and on many car forums.
As far as our personal lives go, we own four homes in Lexington, and rent three out. We like to spend time with the family, and friends. We have three dogs as pets. I know that three is a lot, but we just can't get rid of any of them. All of my immediate family lives in Kentucky. I try to make it back to the Chicago area every two years. I still have many friends there.
Work History:
After serving in the Air Force, I owned and operated Neace Construction, Inc. for approx. 11 years. At that point we sold our house and business, and moved to Kentucky.
I started back to school, and at the present time I hold two Science degrees. Currently, I have rental homes and own a manufacturing company, and run it with my sons. The grandkids will likely be involved as well.
I was not really planning to be self employed. However, I have owned an operated three sucessful businesses. Thinking of getting into another one with my sons. This really just proves that what you think you may be doing in the future when you are 17 years old: Could be much different than planned. You need to take opportunities when they come your way, and sometimes make your own.
