Roark's Story
Life
How is everyone? There's quite a few of you that I have seen over the years; but, there are a lot more that I haven't so hopefully we get to see everyone at our 20 year reunion coming up in two short years.
I quit playing drums in 1991 to the benefit of my ears, parents, neighbors and girlfriend. Remember the girl I brought to the 5 year reunion? We have been together for 14 years, 5 of which married, and now we are expecting our second child this summer.
Never a dull moment: I do a lot of Muskie fishing, tournaments, etc. It's gotten out of hand a little bit but having two kids will squelch some of that.
If you recall Randy Bayless - his older brother and Dad involved me in a industrial equipment venture in Houston that started 1991 - I have been in the industrial equipment business ever since, and now I specialize in Power Plants, gas turbines, and we are launching an independent power producer company in Minneapolis in one week - in other words, not only will I sell the...Expand for more
power generation equipment but also we will manage the electricity on the public grids - tell me there's someone you know that does what I do because I only know a few in the entire country.
I am a long ways from Kansas.
The bodybuilding photo? I competed in the 1997 EAS "Body For Life." I didn't win the prize but I kept the tan for a couple months. And...no....I don't know where that body went; I think I gained 25 lbs since that photo but not as much as Rob Scott did since high school......he's my neighbor in New Brighton, we play on pool leagues.
My college days were interesting - I spent most of it in France and England. I was super lucky to work several jobs in France that gave me reason to believe I was going to be a Diplomat someday, but Scott Bayless called me about going to Houston so that changed my destiny from Diplomacy to junk yard dog.
I could make a short list of all the classmates I run into frequently - maybe I will do this later.
I hope to see you soon.
