David's Story
Life
Greetings from sunny downtown Nairobi, Kenya. I'm working for J.A.Jones Construction out of Charlotte, we're building a new U.S.Embassy (Bin Laden blew up the last one here).I've been here since September 2000, my wife Marsha joined me here in October. Should be here until Nov 2002. Before working for Jones I worked from June - December of 1999 for Perini Corp in Framingham , Mass (outside Boston) I was visiting U.S.Embassies all over the world doing security upgrade site visits. Spent a week each in : Durban- South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Lesotho, Namibia, Trinidad, Suriname, Curacao, Moscow-Russia & Munich-Germany. Then spent Nov - Dec in Puerto Rico.
For the 11-1/2 years before then I was with Bill Harbert International Const in Birmingham. Spent a few weeks in Malaysia, Armenia, Georgia (Russ...Expand for more
ia), Azerbijian, Khazahstan, and Turkey. In Nov 1998 I was assigned to the Embassy upgrade in New Delhi, India; stayed in Delhi until April 1999. I plan to stay on international projects for as long as I can, Tax free & rather high salary, vehicle, housing, & most expenses paid is hard to refuse. My wife & I are avid scuba divers, went to Pemba Island off of Tanzania over Christmas, that was before 180 + people were killed in February-March over election violence. Don't think we'll go back anytime soon.
Hope to dive the Red Sea/Seychelles soon. On my one day off a week, we often go to the game park outside Nairobi, have seen 11 lions in a day(included 5 cubs,two were nursing), rhino, giraffe, zebra,Cape Buffalo, & watched 3 cheetahs from 15' away one day!!!
