Eric's Story
Life
Graduated from Oregon State and met a wonderful young woman Joanne Macken- Business Accounting Major, got married in Dec 81. !!!And we still are!!!
After she graduated, we moved to Houston, TX where the jobs were. Wanted to get some experience and move back to Oregon- HA! Spent 16 long hot humid years there, had daughter #1 in '87 and daughter #2 in 89. Became a Marketing Education Instructor and life was rocking and rolling along.
Joanne's career with the oil industry took off and we pulled up stakes for a move to Findlay, OH in '99. Nice place, Ohio, started working on an older home updating it and doing the remodel thing. Started working on a new teaching license. 18 months later we got transferred again to St. Paul, Minnesota where Joanne was a Controller at a small oil refinery. Teaching licenses do not transfer well state to state, so started working on another one (aagh). MN wanted me to have a Masters to teach High School Business. Did a cost/benefit analysis and it is not worth it. Played substitute teacher and part-time community college instructor. Worked for a year at Office Depot before Joanne got us transferred again (07) back to Findlay, Ohio, where she is...Expand for more

I was very active in the Civil Air Patrol in Oregon, Texas, Ohio and Minnesota. Now back to Ohio. Did another stint as a squadron commander, rebuilt the unit. As the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished. Now I am a Group Commander for all the units in NW Ohio.
To keep me out of trouble I am working for Mosaic out of Irving, TX as a part-time merchandiser. Going to Wal-Mart, Staples, and other stores setting up and maintaining displays for HP, Sony, and the like. Get to set my own hours, set my own schedule.
