Lee's Story

Well, here I am. It seems like a lifetime ago since I have even been back to Churchville. I have been, literally all over the world. I did a few years as a hard hat diver, underwater welding and the decided I didn't like being gone so much. I came back home and finished my engineering degree and then went back and got my teaching degree. After spending a few years as an engineer in Buffalo and then back in Rochester, I went back into teaching. I bopped around in the educational system for a handful of years at the high school level and then moved up to the college level. ( Professor Gorecki? Are you serious?) While I was moulding minds, I realized that the politics and subsequent politicians were not what I signed on for so I decided to get back into private industry. I am now a project manager for a large construction company based out of the mid west that just opened a north-east division. I absolutely love my job and actually like getting up in the morning and going to work. I owned a small speed shop in Rochester for a few years while teaching, but as the summers off ended, I had less and less time to devot...Expand for more
e to making stuff go fast. I still do some consultant work for a few drag racing teams and ocassionally roll my sleeves up and help out but now its more of a hobby than an actual part of my life. I miss it, but, alas.... I own a small gentlemans farm in Wayne county complete with horses, goats, sheep and a small pack of dogs. I have a wonderful wife who is a saint of a woman( due to the fact that she puts up with me) and an great 13 year old son who makes me more and more proud every day. Thank GOD he doesn't pull the crap I pulled as his age, I'd wring his neck. Its kind of funny how far along I feel I have come, but the truth is, I never really changed...or grew-up for that matter. I have seen and done so much to this point, I sometimes overlook what a cool ride it has been to this point. It hasen't been all roses. a divorce, financial ruin, missed opportunities and all the pain associated with the less-than niceties in life. Looking back at it, I would change very little of it, if any. Isn't that what life is about? Tempering yourself in the fires of your failures. I think I'll just see where it goes from here.
