Bob's Story
Life

(Last Updated Jan 2007)
After Del Mar I went to West Valley for 2.5 years taking humanities. After that waste of time I went to Cal Poly where I graduated with a computer science degree. I moved back to my parent's house in San Jose, where I work for Xerox for a couple of years, before I decided that San Jose was too crowded and expensive for me.
I found a job and moved up to Sacramento. The job was with a medical diagnostics company, which I stayed with for nearly 20 years.
During that time I got married and had two kids, before we got divorced around 1995. Shortly after, I started dating my current wife (Maureen), who worked at the same company. We dated for about five years before we got married in 2000. She was busy with three kids of her very own (can you hear the ÃÂBrady BunchÃÂ theme playing?).
We have had a very full life together. We have a family of performers and have been very busy going to theater events (4 of the five have been active in musical theater), musical performances (4 of the 5 have been in bands or the like), and sporting events (4 of the 5 have been on soccer and baseball teams; I coached 16 different sports teams).
Here is a run down on the family:
Joey (step son) is 23 years old. He is a tattoo artist and lives in Auburn.
Katie (step daughter) is 20 years old. She works with pre-school autistic children, teaching them life skills. She lives in downtown Sacramento. She was ...Expand for more
our first actor and is an excellent vocalist.
Elliot (son) is 18 years old. He just graduated high school. He will be attending UCSC in the fall. He is our second actor, has performed with a large company in over 20 plays. He also plays soccer.
Danny (step son) is 16 years old. He will be a junior in high school. His passion is playing in a band. His group has been very successful going on three years now.
William (son) is 14 years old. He will be a Freshmen in high school. He loves sports.
All of the kids are really great, but they keep us hopping. Dinner time is always boisterous, to put it mildly. We live with the three youngest kids in a quite little neighborhood in an area called the Greenhaven/Pocket. We have two dogs that make us happy.
I just left my job of 20 years to work for the state. I was looking for something that would be a better work/life balance. I got a job with the State of California for the Legislative Council.
Maureen, who was also working for the same company I just left, decided it was time for her to also leave. She just joined a start-up in Novato as the director of regulatory affairs. It is a long commute, but she finds the work really interesting.
We have been very happy together. We enjoy getting away for the weekends and making longer trips. We have been to Paris, GermanyÃÂs Rhine and Mosel valleys, Venice, Athens, Malta, Naples, Rome, Florence, Monaco, Barcelona, and various places in Mexico (we have a time share), as well as many places in the states.
