Andrew's Story
Life
It's hard to believe that it's been over 25 years since the Class of '78 graduated St Liz. I worked for 10 yrs as a grocery clerk for the Piedmont Grocery Company in Oakland. I worked with my brother Matt (who some of you will remember, also a St Liz graduate). I just celebrated my 15th Anniversary as an Officer for the California Highway Patrol. I've worked the last 11 years in Alameda County as an auto theft detective for the CHP. I got married a year ago to lovely wife, Julie. She and I have been remodeling our home in Castro Valley for the past year. My best friends are St Liz graduates, Steve Manning and Frank Furger. We have Raider season tickets and we usually see another classmate, Pete Lucero at the games. I'm hoping to connect with some of the old classmates I ...Expand for more
haven't seen for a long time. That's about it for now.
Workplace
Truth be told, I wanted to be a Fireman. But, after 10yrs as a grocery clerk, I decided to be a California Highway Patrolman. I actually had no idea how this type of work would be, since I had no prior Police experience and no one I knew as a cop. However; I enjoyed this job more than I thought I ever would. After working road patrol for 7 years (working nights, mostly arresting drunks and handling bad accidents), I became a Detective, working auto theft in Alameda County. This job has been the most fun and I love it. I'm contemplating promoting, but that would mean I'd have to transfer to another area and not have the great hours I currently enjoy. So for now, I'm just enjoying myself at my current position.
