Martin's Story

Life After I graduated from Clarkstown, I went to college and graduate school. I went into the Army in 1966. After I got discharged, I married and had 2 kids (daughters). Worked in banking (computers) most of my career. Became Sr. VP of Information Technology in a large N.Y.C. bank. Divorced in 1989. Met the love of my life in 1990. After the bank was acquired in a merger, I moved to Connecticut and then to South Florida. I worked for a bank there for 6 years as Vice President of I.T. until it got taken over (loved it). We then moved to Wakulla County, in the Florida panhandle (the Redneck Riviera), near Tallahassee. We love it, y’all! I am the token yankee among our friends. The country is like Rockland County used to be when we were kids. It has several National Forests and wildlife reserves. Kids say sir and ma’am! It is Florida with hills and Georgia/Alabama accents. I work for the State of Florida as Manager of Disaster Recovery. We have 2 motorcycles (Harley and Yamaha), 2 horses, a mule, 5 dogs and 2 cats. I still love to fish and hunt, hike, camp, ski and enjoy the outdoors. I ran 5 marathons (the last in 1997) and several hundred shorter races (wrecked my back and knees, but had fun). Broke my back twice getting bucked off horses and finally got a mule (bigger than my horse, but safer). L...Expand for more
ife has not turned out to be the straight line I thought it would be as I was growing up. However, it has been a mostly great journey. I have acquired, and kept, several friends along the way (I am blessed). I finally found a woman to love and be my friend and partner. I grew up, sort of. I am healthy and mostly in shape. College I went to college and just did the very least to slide by. I got involved in very little except Fraternity in Sophomore and Junior years. I would like to re-connect with some people (Marty Epstein and Ari Shoenfeld, etc). Workplace I served in the US Army National Guard for 6 years. After active duty I got a Job with Burroughs Corp. I left after 4 years to become a consultant. I worked at that for 1 year and got a job as Data Processing Manager for Apple Bank in NYC. I rose to Sr. Vice President and lost my job after 18 years due to a takeover. I then worked for EDS for 1 1/2 years. I left to get a job in West Palm Beach, FL. I became VP of Information Technology. Again, I lost my job dur to a takeover (Banking is not secure!!!!). I became a Y2K consultant and traveled to Boston each week. I then moved to the Florida Panhandle to get a job with the State as Manager of Disaster Recovery. Whew! Military Not much. I slid by and had as much fun as possible in a rough situation.
