Eric's Story
Towards the end of my Freshman year at Fountain Valley High School, my parents pulled all 3 kids out of public schools and put us into Catholic schools. Unfortunately for me, Mater Dei was fully impacted and there was no opening my Sophomore year. Thus I found myself attending St. Vincent's High School Seminary in Montebello, which was affiliated with our parish in Huntington Beach.
After a year at St. Vincent's, I found it easier to just stay on rather than changing schools again, so I graduated there in 1981 and continued on to the Catholic college seminary, St. Mary's in Perryville, Missouri.
In less than two years, I came to the realization that the Catholic ministry was not my true vocation and I left mid-year to start a new life in Seattle, Washington.
I worked at several jobs, including an advertising agency in downtown Seattle while living on Bainbridge Island, taking the ferry back and forth eve...Expand for more
ry day to work. In 1986, I got sick of the constant rain and gloom and moved back down to southern California to finish college.
I got an evening job at Lucky's as a clerk while going to school, and then moved on to an aerospace company and eventually joined Fluor Corp. in 1990. I left Fluor in 1999 to work at Roland as their web manager, and then joined a "dot com" startup and had a wild ride for a year until that went bust. After that, I found myself back at the "new" Fluor, where I have worked ever since.
I got married in 1991 to my beautiful wife, Jana; our daughter, Kendyl was born 10 years later (yes, we took time to enjoy life and travel a bit before settling down), and then our son, Dylan was born a few years later.
We have lived in Foothill Ranch since 1995. We still have Niko (our Shiba Inu) who is now about 13 years old.
