George's Story

Joined the Air Force after high school. Married Laura O'Hosky in March of 1968 after finishing training in Denver. Stationed in Las Vegas NV and then Clovis NM. Vegas was great, Clovis not so much. Got out of AF in 1971. Moved to Denver in 1971 and got into the construction equipment product support business with several different equipment dealers as Parts Department Manager. By 1989 we got a bit tired of the snow and cold weather so decided to move to CA. Found a job in beautiful Ventura County. Lived only 10 miles from the beach in Camarillo, halfway between LA and Santa Barbara. Went through some mergers and acquisitions and ended up as head of Product Support for a 12 store dealership. Had an opportunity to go to work for an English company manufacturer as their North American Parts Marketing Manager in Savannah GA in 2001 so packed my bags and headed east. Eventually became General Manager, Parts Sales & Distribution for NA. Got to travel to Engl...Expand for more
and 3 to 4 times per year, travel all over U.S., and one trip to Finland. By 2007, we were starting to plan for retirement, having bought a retirement home in a great development, Solivita in FL near Kissimmee. Went to work as a Product Support Marketing Territory Manager for another construction equipment manufacturer as this allowed us to sell the GA house and move to FL. Lot of travel covering the southeastern states. In August 2013, I retired from full time work. Still do a little bit of consulting work here and there, don't really pursue it to hard as I am having way too much fun being retired. Running races up to half marathons, riding my bike, traveling, catching up on my reading, improving the house. Laura and I went to Edinburgh Scotland, London, and Bruges Belgium for 17 days in July. We've been over to England a number of time but have only had one week at time so this was really a treat. Went to Bequia in the Grenadines for our 50th anniversary,
