Matt's Story
After High School I entered the military Army Airborne. When I completed my stint I moved to Minn. where I had a number of different jobs from store clerk to working in a paper mill.
In 1986 I moved back to Az. where I became involved in construction I worked there until 1989 when the company I worked for moved out to Ca., they took 5 of us with and that is how I ended up here.
In 1990 I met my now wife of 12 years, her name is Sue and she is a native of Ca. ( beach girl ) of course. We have one son together that is now 15 years old, and one son from a previous marriage that is now 23 years old. I currently am divorced from my 1 and only marriage.
After being a carpentor for 15 years I decided to go back to school. I attended San Joaquin Delta College where I graduated with Honors and made the Dean's list.

b for five years getting a feel for electrical schemes. After 9/11 I was laid off, I then applied to PG&E and started working for them in Jan. of the following year.
After i completed my apprenticeship I served one year as Safety Lead for our area,I am currently a lead electrician which is basically a Subforeman in training. I am very happy with my life.
I currently reside in Mariposa in the Sierra's about 45 min. from Yosemite National Park.
I often find myself remembering the days we all had together, although we undoubtedly have different pictures running through our heads of those days they were and still are our days. But with that and all the things to numerous to include here ( as I am sure it is in your case ) I wouldn't change a thing. All those experiences the ups the downs they all made me ( and I hope you also ) a better and lid'l bit wiser person.
ROCK ON!!!!!!!
