Russell's Story
I have been in California since 1980, the year I got married.
My lovely wife was a Spanish teacher in a Christian high school for 25 years. That was the perfect job for a mom because it got us free tuition and it matched her hours and vacations with the girl's hours and vacations. She is now (semi) retired, doing a little on-line tutoring high school Spanish and French, and a lot of gardening.
My oldest daughter got her BA degree and then spent a year in Mexico to teaching 4th grade and a year here teaching Jr High before heading off to Georgetown School of Law in DC. In 2013 she visited us in California for a month as she took (and passed) the California Bar Exam. She is now a staff attorney for a nonprofit - Kids In Need of Defense (KIND). Now I guess I should call her Counselor rather than Princess. In 2020 she move...Expand for more
d from Washington DC to Fresno CA, still with KIND, so we now get to see her more often!
My second daughter got her BS in mechanical engineering and worked as a project manager on the Power Electronics team at Tesla in San Jose CA for five years.. She then moved to a startup company called Nuro, designing self-driving delivery vans. The girls both went to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, the same school where Mom and Dad got our bachelors degrees.
I am a registered professional engineer, and I spend a lot of time lugging a briefcase around the US and the Pacific Rim trying to sound like I know what I am talking about. Since February of 2018, I am semi-retired with a goal of working about two days a week. Sometimes it turns out to be a lot more.
My pet project is documenting my hobby, which is keeping four old cars on the road.
