John's Story
Life
I met Bonnie in 1988 and we married in 1989. In 1990 Bonnie was offered a transfer with Lockheed to Denver and we jumped at the chance to live outside the Bay Area, it was getting to crowded and expensive for us. After nearly 13 years in the Denver area we made the move to Grand Junction, CO, population 50,000, on the western slope of Colorado.
This move has been great. The climate is good and the area is growing. We have access to the mountains and amenities of a larger city, though scaled down a little.
As for my career, I spent more than 25 years in the propane industry until mid 2007 when I made the move to flooring. I'd been traveling most of the past 8 years and was ready to spend more time at home. In June of 2007 I started my own business and now represent Carpet Direct sellin...Expand for more
g all types of flooring. Quite a change from propane and I'm enjoying every minute of it. It's nice to be home every night rather than in a hotel 4 nights a week.
I don't have any children of my own but inherited 2 when I married Bonnie. Her oldest, Kimberly, lives in Illinois and has 6 children. Her son Jeremy was killed in an auto accident in 1992 while serving in the Navy in Virginia. He left a wife and young son who is now in his first year of college along with Kim's oldest.
I've truly been blessed with a wonderful life and great family. I miss my family and fiends in California but doubt I'll ever move back.
UPDATE: As of May 1,2009 we're now living in Spring Creek, NV. The bad economy killed my flooring business and I'm now back in propane managing an office for Suburban Propane.
