Life
WOW, what a ride its been over the past 25 years. After graduating from SHS, I headed for the deserts of Arizona where I lived for the next 13 years. In 1989, my father and I had a sailbout built (Gitano) and sailed throughout the South Pacific. I almost got married in Fiji one night drinking fermented coconut juice. While time really means nothing at sea, I realized that I very much desired to go to college, and in 1990, we returned to the USA where I enrolled in Arizona State University's Asian Studies Program. In 1994 I graduated from ASU with a Batchelors Degree in Chinese and Political Science. During my studies at ASU, I traveled to China to interview for a teaching position in Central China.

d for 10 years. We have no children as she is too quick for me to catch. My employer is Hard Rock Cafe in which I have been employed now for 10 years. My current position is General Manager in Phoenix as well as being a Worldwide Opening Coordinator. To date, I have opened Hard Rock Cafes in Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Ft. Lauderdale, Choctaw, Mississppi, Foxwoods, Connecticut and Nassau, Bahamas. Upcoming openings include St. Petersburg, Russia, Warsaw, Poland, Keiv, Russia and onto India. Next year, it is likely that my wife and I will return to China where I will be responsible for the Hard Rocks in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Soul, Philipines, Bangkok and the 6 in Japan.. It has been a magical adventure thus far in which I hope it has been the same for you. All the best to the calss of 79. KB
