Don's Story

After Graduation I moved to the suburbs of Chicago to go to school... DeVry.... talk about culture shock!!! I did very well in college, ends up I wasn't being challenged in High School. I graduated from DeVry at age 19 ready to hit the road of life... boy was I stupid - It's all worked out very well as I'm very happy with where I am in life now (2008). While I was living down in IL, I maintained a long distance relationship with Carie Karl. After she graduated in '93 she moved down to IL with me. While going to school full time I took on a job at Perfection Servo Hydraulics in Addison IL doing shipping and receiving which evolved into a full time component level technician roll after graduation. In 1995 we had our first child (boy), Alex, while living in IL. This was followed by a wedding in '96 and a move out of IL. We moved north to get closer to family, landing in the Green Bay Area. We lived in Denmark, then Appleton, and finally our current location of Little Chute (a suburb of Appleton). With the move to WI I changed career paths, from industrial electronics to computer networking. I obtained a job with a service provider out of Little Chute - Heartland. In 1999 our second child (boy) was born, Gavin. After 7 years with Heartland I decided to move on... You ever see that movie "The Firm"? I lived it... after I quit Heartland, I attempted to go into bu...Expand for more
siness for myself. Let me just say they had more money than I did and my company never got off the ground. While going through the mess with Heartland... of which I've renamed in my own mind to Heartless... In 2003 we had our third child (girl), Ella. Life goes on... I took a job with another service company out of Green Bay - Infinity Technology. After 2 years (2005) I was approached by Kaukauna Utilities to start an internal IT department. And so at this time, 2008, I am the Manager of Information Technology for Kaukauna Utilities, running a department for a government entitiy doing things I never imagined with computers, telephones, security, and fiber optics. So what are we involved in... One day when Alex was in 1st Grade, he came home with a flyer to join Cub Scouts... we did and became very involved.. A great way for a new family in a new place where we knew nobody to get integrated with the community. We joined in 2002 and it's now 2008 and I'm the Cubmaster running the pack and Alex is now in Boy Scouts. When I grew up, I played Hockey. I wanted the same opportunities for my boys... We now find ourselves overwhelmed with Hockey, both boys play and we just about live at the rink. As so it is, this family of 5 which was started back in Escanaba as High School sweethearts pushes on through the ups and downs of life together. Thanks for reading Don
