Ken's Story
I was (and still am...) a very shy kid. Most of you might remember me as the weird kid who sat in the corner...lol. Our family moved a bit when I was younger, so I never really learned to make & keep friends. I was always friendly to people who would talk to me, but I was incredibly shy.
Shortly after graduation, I moved to Roseville, Northern CA in 1984; Became an EMT in '85 and worked on an Advanced Life Support ambulance until '89 when I moved into technology. I've worked at Shakey's Pizza, Ricco's Pizza, ETS Ambulance, Avantek, EDS, IBM, and Gap. I've been on two boards as President and also technical director (CAL Elite and PGAA). I'm currently an IT Director for Gap Inc.
I'm still happily married to my beautiful wife of 31 years. We have one son who graduated UC Santa Barbara and has a successful career in San Francisco in executive recruitment. I stay relatively active on our property and I like to fly airplanes every chance I get. I have a small Youtube c...Expand for more
hannel that I started mainly to help my aging parents see what I'm up to on the property, since they can't get around much. If you search Chimarusti in Youtube, you'll find me. I have a couple flying videos on an older channel, called kxx1613. I just upgraded the avionics on my new (1966) airplane, so I'll be posting a few more videos in the air.
In '2017 I moved to Meadow Vista, CA, which is a small town in the Sierra foothills. We have 3 acres of property in the hills where I can't see my neighbors. I've been a private pilot since 2001 and helped to start an aircraft ownership organization (Pacific Gold Aviation Association-PGAA) that is still thriving today. I left PGAA in 2007 and was renting aircraft until mid 2020 when I bought a 1966 Mooney M20E that I flew back from Oklahoma to California. I'll upload pics of the plane when I get around to it. Anyway, that’s me…hopefully, most of you remember me as friendly and not the weird kid who sat in the corner! :)
