Zachary's Story
Life
Well, not enough space here for my story but here's 10secs worth. Got in big trouble at about 19 (not good) in Utah (even worse), 20 started college (much better), went into Technology field '83, got married, lived, worked, ski'd in Utah, had 2 great kids along the way(Sydney '86/Alex'90-Awesome). Worked and traveled alot (not good). Went to work for startup tech company, went public, got kinda-rich (really good), did alot of soul searching...separated for a couple years then got divorced ('98)..and got less rich (worth it, except the effect on kids-not good), met Danielle with Josephine '99 (in a corn-maze? magical!), got married again '00, moved back to Seattle for a year to do a startup .com again (1yr...good try but dollars dried up)..eventually went back to work as independent IT consultant (really good), moved to NYC 7days before 911..(horrific), worked and traveled the world ...Expand for more
a bit, moved to Europe (Switzerland/France) for a few years ('03-'05) (merci b'coup)..came back to USA to be closer to kids in Utah and family. Blending families is hard but worth the challenge. I am loving life, adore my wife, kids and time spent together and some work too (balance!). At the end of the day, its the simplest things that makes life so enjoyable. We live in America, how nice is that, we all have so much!
We spend home time in Utah, Seattle, Denver and Coeur D'Alene, ID (new house project '07). Selling it all to be closer to Seattle and on the water. Look us up sometime, well be around these places.
Health/Happiness secret...a glass of red wine and a prayer of thanks each day.
Well a little change now in 2008, we are back in Switzerland and hope to retire with UN now and share time in Geneva, Seattle and Coeur D'Alene Idaho.
PS: My parents and brothers are doing fine!
