Thom's Story
Life
From Duck to SeaDog. It's been awhile. After Akers and a year at Lemoore High, We ended up in Colorado. I graduated from Broomfield High School in 82. Got out of Colorado just ahead of the Posse, and landed in Southern California. I spent a few years working for Disney as a Culinary Host. aka short order cook and chefs assistant, and Parker Hannifin Aerospace. At 24 I joined the Navy. 2 armed conflicts ( Persian Gulf War and Somalia)and a pissed off volcano (Mt Pinatubo) later, 10 years had passed and I left the service and landed back at Disney as an Machinist/Diver working with Engineering Services and Walt Disney Imagineering. I helped get California Adventure together (Don't blame me. I didn't design the place) Then it was off to Asia to put Hong Kong Disneyland together, when I got back, I was part of the "Monsters Inc." Project. Currently it's "Finding Nemo's Submarine Voyage" at Disneyland in Anaheim.
As you can tell I'm a Diver, something I started for Uncle Sam and mana...Expand for more
ged to find a use for after the Navy. Diving is my true Passion.
I was married for 23 years, Recently seperated, Not a bad run, I'm surprised she lasted as long as she did. So I'm back in the game as it were, Unfortunatly, I'm not sure I still remember how to play it???? No Kids! Kids cause mental illness, I've seen it. all my friends with kids have lost their minds. I like kids, as long as they belong to someone else.
I spend my free time cruising on my Valkyrie with the Patriot Guard Riders. I can also be found in the Eastern Sierras up around Rock Creek, Mammoth, or down around the Channel Island or Catalina.
That's about it for a summary Mouse-cateers. It's been a long trip, but man what a ride. I still will on occasion pull out the Year Book and go back in time. It always puts a smile on my face.
You all keep in touch now.
