David's Story
Wow! Decades and decades have gone by. Time has gone by very fast, and it has been a blast! When I was in college, I found out I was a wiz at physics! Who knew! That along with an apprenticeship in electrical machine control design, launched me into a wildly successful Industrial Electrical Contracting business that I owned and operated for 3 decades, designing, building, installing and troubleshooting complex industrial automation and designed custom software to manage industrial automation production statistics to reduce production cost and justify capital expenditures for fortune 100 companies.

veral different training cadres, and earned many top awards for Leadership and for Above and Beyond the Call of Duty. If there was a major fire, natural or manmade disaster somewhere in California, chances are I was there.
Now, I am nearing my second retirement. A few years ago, I started a real-estate investment company, and I am a private money lender for commercial real-estate projects nationwide. I love to snow ski and I love vacationing. I have traveled the world filling up many passports. I have run into a few of my classmates over the years and it’s always fun to see them. Some of them had businesses here in San Pedro where I live. I would love to hear from any of my former classmates. Check your yearbook. If I wrote down my phone number in your yearbook, that number is still good. Call me. Perhaps we could have lunch together and catch up. No grass grows under my feet!!
