Suzanne (Suzi)'s Story
Life
My husband, Max, and I have been married 15 years. He's a really great guy! He was born in Brazil and moved to Chino when he was six. That's where we've been for the past 12 years. We own a vending company, 'So Cal Vending'. We have the vending contract for the men's prison in Chino (CIM) and we also have the women's prison (CIW) in Frontera, CA (which is just between Chino and Corona), and a few other locations.
Fortunately, I get to be home for our 2 super-cool, cute, smart kids. Gavin is 13 and Shea is 11. They're both GATE students. They're both actors. Shea's done lots of print work, catalogs, a short film, music videos and commercials (Kay Jewelers, Capitol One, Bayer) and a film that's gone to a bunch of film festivals this year, including the Sundance Film Festival. She just did a Thanksgiving commercial for PUBLIX supermarkets. Gavin's been in a short film, a bunch of commercials (Brink's, Lincoln, Disney, etc.) and filmed 5 episodes of Fox's "Skin" a while back. His mom on the show was Ginger Lynn Allen - remember her? He did a video for the Epson MovieMate last year that's still playing on their website. Gavin plays drums and guitar and he's AMAZING! He recently decided to cut back on acting to focus on his music. Shea plays guitar, is a great cook, dabbles in politics...Expand for more
(she was ASB President last year) and is becoming quite the little horsewoman! That keeps us pretty busy.
We're in our 3rd home here in Chino. This one is it. Finally, I've got horse property again! We have 2 beautiful Shetland Ponies (Shea did a commercial for Bayer One-A-Day Vitamins and they hired one of her ponies, too!), a Quarter Pony, and two adorable miniature horses. Shea and I show the minis and our Shetland Ponies. One pony did so well she placed 5th Nationally in 2 divisions. I'm really excited to get back into the horse-thing again. We've got a herd of cats, a giant golden dog and two Pembroke Welsh Corgis. My Corgi Daisy won fist place in her puppy division at an AKC show this year!
I see Leeanne (Devaney) Ledgerwood every week and try to keep in touch with Laureen (LaLiberte) Hendershot and Renee (Snell) Hocking and Lisa (Halverson) Butler, but it's tough with kids' schedules and just life in general. I love to see people from school and their kids! It's so amazing to me to see the likenesses (and differences)! I don't see many people from CHS, though. My parents moved to Montclair about ten years ago, just a couple of miles from us. My mom's doing well, but my dad passed away 2 years ago.
That's about it. I'd love to hear from anyone that's got a minute to e-mail.
