Shannon's Story

Life After high-school Kris Russell and I went to the UK for a few months. We ended up in Glasgow Scotland. I came back to Loveland for a while. I worked in a couple of places not really doing much. In 1988, I went to school to be an airline pilot with Eastern Airlines. In 1990 Eastern Air went under and I found myself half trained. After meeting with other airlines, they told me to join the Air Force or give up at trying to be a pilot. The military wasn't for me, so once again I was kicking around. I lived in Boulder, Longmont and Ft. Collins doing odd jobs and not really doing anyting. In 1993 I moved to the United Arab Emirites in the Middle East with a friend who went to pilot school with me. After several months and again, not really finding my niche, I came back to Colorado. I had been dating a young lady before I left and decided that we should marry. So in 1994 we were married. Finding work was hard with no skills. My sister lived in Dallas, Texas and suggested I come to work with her husband at an IT company. I had no experience, but they suggested I come down and chat anyway. Long story short, I gave myself a crash course in computers and scored the job. I worked for them for several years. Meanwhile in 1995 I lost my wife...well, I didn't loose her, it was just that when I went there she was with another man. I buried myself in work and got a chance to do technical support for the Asia-Pacific region. I had a customer who was a lovely lady and she ...Expand for more
often called me and asked for advice or help and we developed a friendship. She lived in Melbourne, Australia. So we could talk to each other I helped her get e-mail and internet chat working. And we would chat for up to 4 hours a day. The company I worked for suggested I come down to Australia and help them set up some call centres. As it turned out the call centre was in Melbourne. Fate stepped in. I decided I would try to make a go of it in Australia and I sold everything I owned, bought a plane ticket 1 way and arrived in Melbourne on 26th of December 2006. That lovely lady (Natasha) met me at the airport. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever met. Instantly I was in love with her. Over the next 8 months I built call centres, hired staff and set up procedures. They sent me to Singapore, Hong Kong and Maylasia as well as New Zealand and I set up more call centres. When I got back I asked Natasha to marry. We were married in 97 and I got residency in Australia. I have been here for over 10 years and loving it. I have moved up into an Executive Management role in IT and I now running some Australian companies. Natasha and I have three lovely girls. Aleisha and Monique are my step daughters, and we have Shania together. I have a lovely home in the South of Victoria. I have been restoring two 1940 Chevrolet Sedan cars, and a little convertable sports car. In my spare time I also write fiction and I have one book published and about 7 of my short stories.
