Richard's Story
Hi My name is Richard Sotelo,
I live in the town of San Martin, Ca. My story starts in the out-skirts of Gilroy, Ca. on Rucker Ave. lived on the Ranch for 25 years. I servered Iin the U S Army for 2 years, with the 101st Airborne Div. Fort Campbell Ky. as a Para-Medic. After my 2 years tour, got out of the service, got married and started my family. I have 3 wonderful kids, 2 Boys & a beautiful Girl. I started my work at the Gilroy Cannery for 5 years and went into the service and came out . then went to work for General Electric Co. for 15 yers. then i moved on the Electronic world to Four- Phase in Cupertino,Ca. for 5 years. then on to Priam Corp in San Jose, Ca. for another 5 years. It did stop there, then I re-located to Spectra- Physic in S J. for 6 Months. So after that, a Company called Quantum Corp. on Mc Carthy Blvd. in Milpitas Hired me into their Facilities Dept. which I've done all my Life...Expand for more
, For another 11 year.
After 11 years of commuting to San Jose and back to San Martin, I decided to find a Job closer to Home and landed one in Morgan Hill, just 8 miles from Home. The Company was Mainstreet network Co. Unforturnatly this was for only 8 months job. This company filed chapter 11. Again out of a job, I searched for a job closer to home again. I Saw a Company called Fox Racing Inc. was looking for a Facilities person and I applyed for the job and got it.. Well ! as it turned out, I worked for Fox Racing Inc. for 8 years and 8 months and Retired From this Company. I worked with the most wonderful people and I miss all my Friends that I made in all my jobs that I've work at. So my wife Linda and I are taking it one day at a time and enjoying it.
So as of Now, I am a Happly Retired Person and Enjoying It. My Life Adventure has been Great. Now to get my Reward.
Thanks
