Chuck's Story
For those who caught up with me at the 20th class reunion you may recall that I was living in New Zealand. Well, still there. I love it down here. For a country that the Wall Street Journal blamed for the hole in the ozone due to the billions of gallons of methane produced by the 75 million sheep, this country definitely DOES NOT STINK. It's a great place to live and to raise a family.
Having said all that, Cheyenne was always good to me too. I often think of high school days and, when I can remember anything, I remember some really good times. The education was pretty good too. I've done some university level teaching and find that the standard of learning seems to have dropped below that which we had in 72. Yay CHS 72.
Anyway, after CHS I partied my way through U.W. Got a degree in party and minored in skiing and music. After U.S. I carried on losing more brain cells in Cheyenne for a number of years. One day in Cheyenne I woke up somewhere??? and thought WTF am I doing. Got help and moved on to next chapter of life.
Chapter 2 - U.W. wasn't a complete waste of time as my U.W. credits and some funky test I had to take were enough to gain me a place in a graduate program at Colorado State. I studied Information Systems (that was what they called it at the time) and did some grad teaching. After graduation I did some contract teaching at the University of Auckland in New Zealand and then diverted into private enterprise working for the likes of Oracle Corporation. Finally, here I am with my own business. It's all been great fun and life has been good.
I have a great family - my wife, Sheila, and two teenagers, Ryan and Madyson. I can't understand my daughter as her accent is so Kiwi. My son often has to translate. We live on a small block in the country and breed white cows with black ears. They are really a laug...Expand for more
h. Have dogs, cats, chickens, horses, rabbits and ... no sheep!!! Quite the menagerie though. Sheila, manages the animals, kids and property. I commute to my office every week day but it's farm duties on the weekend. I'm good at driving a tractor, mending electric fences and fixing water hoses but not much else. Good thing Sheila does the rest (that's what the animals say too).
I love my work and have done for the last 23 years. My new upstart company is particularly rewarding as we build software for various governments that supports the economic growth of their respective countries. The web based software we build is used and owned by the New Zealand government which now holds the number 1 position for speed of incorporation for new businesses. There are some very clever people in our government and FMIT (my business - fmit.co.nz) are lucky enough to be their software provider. Our company's outlook is global and we (my business partner and I) often have to make trips to places like Vanuatu, Tonga, Singapore, Vietnam, South Africa, Fiji and any other country that will let us in. It's exciting and scary at the same time. I can't place a URL here but you can find our site by googling fmit.
Outside of work and farm, there are lots of activities here like surfing, motorcycling, horsing around, skiing, sailing and just about anything else you can think of. Even bungy jumping - OMG. My son and I are currently building a hot rod in our garage. Something to keep a young mind occupied. That's my mind I'm talking about, not his. What's my name???? What???
Oh well, that's enough about me. I joined this site to hear all about everyone back there. Please drop me a line on this site and/or update your profiles with stories. I often miss everyone back there and this seems like it could be a good way of reconnecting.
Cheers
