Marlin's Story
Life
My accomplishments began in1978 when I won the gold medal during the Olympic tryouts, I continued in competition to eventually garner the lightweight division Matial arts championship in Chicago in 1979. I eventually moved to Traverse City in the early '80's working and supporting my family while continuing my martial arts studies. I won another divisional championship in 1988, this time though it was the middle-weight division (haven't we all put on a few pounds since graduation?). My love for hockey has never diminished and have multiple trophies over the years (including 2003).
Of course I have 5 beautiful kids (all grown) from my first marriage.
You know what they say, "An unexamined life is a life worth not living', so I have my fair share of dissappoints but also a lot of goo...Expand for more
d times as well.
I have lived in the beautiful redwoods of California,and also Traverse city Michigan, but I call Lansing MI my home now, but you may see me in FLANIGANS in Marquette hooking up with friends.
Workplace
My work resume reads like a 'what I did during my summer vacation' report (for those of you that know me; are you surprised? Ha) I had a karoake business for years, EMT, Superintendant for the village of Northport (DPW), Traverse City football ast coach for 7 seasons, with Jim Ooley and winning two state championships, juvenile probation officer, etc., but, the ironic job; school bus driver! It wasn't until my mid-30's that 'I decided what I wanted to be when I grew up; automotive assembly technician for Delphi. Haha. Alas I'm enjoying early retirement since October2003.
