Gale's Story
After attaining a degree in electronics, I served in the military at various sites (stateside and overseas). I then obtained gainful employment as an electrician at General Motors. I have acted in management levels and passed all their testing, but find it is just not lucrative enough to persue.

I hope all of your life adventures have been as enjoyable as mine continue to be... :)
