Dave's Story
Life
I really did not like school. I cut classes any chance that I could get away with it. Most teachers hated me because I had a smirk that they would like to slap off my face. I Hung around the musician crowd (most of them did not attend Lynbrook). I was in a few bands playing keyboards for about 7 years. I did remember playing a Hammond B3 at a dance at Lynbrook. The band was called "Session" and we played music from Santana and Chicago. I did enjoy Crawford's auto shop. I do remember renting out my VW van for couples to have sex during lunch. One couple finally did get busted by Vistal and the Dean of Students (both naked in a sleeping bag). I almost got busted for having a rubber stamp made of O. Booth and having pink admit pads of passes reproduced. The pads were sold "pre-stamped" with Booth's signature stamped on it. This scheme worked out for 3 months. After that, we were forced back to forging signatures.
I did manage to obtain a degree from De Anza College. I have been Married to a great girl since 1981 that keeps me "in line". In 1984, she got me interested in computers. I have a step-daughter that is a VP at an electronic firm that is 35. She lives in San Jose.
I have been "self-employed" since 1975.
I consider myself successful. I jumped on the "internet" boom at the very beginning. I made my "kill" on Zip Code Data. This data was sold to Dot-Com's. By staying out of the stock market, buying and selling real estate, and not "blowing money" on expensive vacations and ca...Expand for more
rs, everything worked out! Even though, we paid a small fortune to Uncle Sam in the form of taxes, we still managed to become "Debt-Free", paying off the cars and the mortgage in 1996.
I currently own multiple companies. As long as I have my health, I have no plans to retire. I really enjoy the "action" I have created in my life.
My future plans is to race stock cars locally for recreation. I currently have a 1/4 mile "off-road" track on our property. I run a modified VW rolled-caged dunebuggy on the course. For the street, I enjoy driving my Porsche Carrera S, especially on the winding hills in the Sierra Foothills.
