Michael's Story
Life
It's been busy.
I left New Mexico in 1978, moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma for a couple of years, then on to Portland, Oregon for a couple more.
Eventually I landed, in 1981, in SoCal (L.A./Orange County) for the next fifteen years. Dude! While there I got to live through more fires, floods, and earthquakes than I can count. Not to mention Rodney King and the L.A. riots. Good times. Oh, and getting caught right in the middle of a car chase by some dude name O.J. taking a joyride on the San Diego Freeway. What fun.
In 1996, my wife and I had decided that we had had enough of the rat race of SoCal and moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. What a culture shock!! But, once we got used to the slower lifestyle and reduced (or different)variety of life we discovered that CR was a nice town filled with nice people. I...Expand for more
miss living there to this day.
In 2000 we moved to the Seattle area. Seattle is a nice mix. We have the variety (Especially food!) of L.A. with the rural lifestyle of Iowa.
I enjoy my work time helping to keep our products working on Boeing jets and am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next Boeing jet, the 787!!
I have had the joy of working on the Space Shuttle program and the tragedy of holding a piece of the destroyed Challenger in my hands in 1986.
For hobbies I have enjoyed aerobatic flying skydiving, Hot Air Ballooning, white water rafting, mountain biking, ocean kayaking, and chasing rainbows. Mostly hobbies that can get me killed if I am not careful. Ha! What can I say, someone has to do it!!
We have one beautiful daughter who will be 8 years old in July 2011 and four cats who hog the bed.
