Eric's Story
April 2006: My wife Lisa and I are in Dallas, TX. I moved to Dallas a little over 5 years ago; I was hired by GE Aviation and have been working for them since. We purchased a new house this yearâÃÂÃÂitâÃÂÃÂs not new, but it is new obviously to us. The house is a ranch style house that was built in the 50âÃÂÃÂs it seems perfect for us, more space than we need right now.
Ten years ago at the last class reunion I had been working for the Nagel Group in property management, in the Chicago area. During the fall of 1996 I started a job with AAR (Allen Aircraft & Radio) in Chicago and now although IâÃÂÃÂm not with AAR I have remained in aviation for the last 10 years.
My Wife Lisa is a Sr. cost accountant for a privately held chemical company here in Dallas, not much to say right now except she keeps me in line most of the time. We travel stateside a bit and will probably get over the pond this fallâÃÂæIâÃÂÃÂve been to several places (UK, France, Switzerland) however, she has not been yet.
Quick Updates:
2007: Lisa and I took 10 days and went to London UK and to Paris France, great trip, loved Spamalot, the Eiffel Tower, and Fish and Chips. Still at GE, buying and selling aircraft parts.
2008: what an insane year! Lost my Step-dad Ken in February, we flew back to Illinois for a week and helped Mom with all of the arrangements. My USTA (3.5) tennis team took home the Texas championship before...Expand for more
losing in the National tournament to Puerto Rican team. Took a new job in Chicago mid 2008, put the house on the market and Lived with my brother Kevin and Family in Chicago. House was not selling at the same time I was recruited by a company in Dallas. Late 2008, started new job in Dallas stayed in same house. We give all the credit to surviving this year to the big man upstairs.
2009: another insane year...this time all business. With the new job travel started right away, first trip was to Montreal in January--froze my butt off. Trips to Singapore, Thailand, and UK quickly followed. Regardless of the economic downturn, sales were pretty good for the year. Lisa did not see me much but it allowed her time to study and pass her C.F.P. and Series 7 exam.
2010: Still in Dallas and still going 100 mph. Not playing tennis right now due to time needed in the office. Business travel this year to Phoenix, Memphis, Philadelphia, Miami, and Chicago. Lisa and I just came back from vacation in Atlanta where we stayed at the W in Buckhead for a night. The next day we continued on to Hilton Head Island for another 3 days on the beach. Hilton Head was great and if you are driving I recommend you stop in Warner Robbins to see Gail at Fincher's BBQ and spend an hour at the WR flight museum.
