Michael's Story
Life
After Wilcox West Valley was my next stop. Joined the Navy in '70
and saw the world. Married since '76, 3 sons. Living peacefully
north east of Seattle since '88. My working career can best be
described as eclectic. I have worked for a major knee brace manufacturer, in computers, lasers, medical equipment, bicycles, paper, and spent some time with a workshop for the blind. Spent 2 years helping launch a new "desk top cable management system" and my wife and I operate two businesses through local Farmers Markets. One selling her art and the other selling Churros and Shave Ice. So, the eclectic trend continues................
In 2005 I became President of the Woodinville Farmers Market Board of Directors. Hoping to get it better organized - more like a business. It seems to be working better and our farmers are happy with the increase in their sales.
And in late 2006....I decided to take a job working for an internet marketing company here in Seattle. Two on my sons work there and they convinced me to join the fun. The "young at heart spirit" is invigorating.
2009 - Turning 60 and relishi...Expand for more
ng life. A solid relationship with my Bride, an adult relationship with our 3 sons, challenging work on the leading edge of internet marketing, community involvement via the Farmers Market, and a few close friends with mutual unconditional acceptance. Awesome, just awesome.
2011 - retirement seemed appropriate and a Winnebago necessary. Places to go, people and things to see with my vagabond spirit to guide me.
2013 - first granddaughter born in Feb and a grandson is due in Nov. From none to some in just one year.
2014 - another granddaughter - a sister to the first - born in Sept. of this year. And another grandbaby is due in July of 2015. Our three sons will have had 4 babies between them in just 30 months.
2019 - my bride and I decided to sell our house and everything in it and then live on the road in our Motorhome - full time. This had been in the works for 2 years and it was a daunting task. We did keep a few pieces of art, photos, and a few other precious items, but ALL of our furniture was either sold or donated. For now we will stay in Western states but will eventually head further east as we explore.
