Gregory's Story
Life
After graduation, worked part-time and went to Cerritos College. In 1975 joined the Army and went to DLI in Monterey; became a German language translator-interpreter. I went to Berlin, Germany in 1977 and served 2-1/2 years. I got out of the Army in 1979, but stayed on in Berlin for nearly another 9 years. I met my wife Dagmar - a Berliner - in 1981, got married in 1985, and we are still happily married. I got a degree in Business Management from University of Maryland European Division. I worked for a number of American engineering services companies in Berlin. In 1989 I went to Ankara, Turkey and set up local company for ManTech. Dagmar and I stayed in Ankara until 1995, then we moved back to Germany where I worked for GSE Systems in Essen and Brussels until 1999, then we moved back to Ankara where I started (another) subsidiary company. Due to company acquisitions and mergers I became employed by Telvent as the Regional Manager in Ankara, Turkey. From 1999-2007 I traveled extensively throughout the region, including Turkey, Greece, Russia, Middle East.

s at the corporate offices of Telvent, responsible for Business Development and Sales in Europe, the Balkans and Mediterranean countries (Italy, Greece, Turkey, Israel) and Russia.
Update:
In July 2013, we moved from Madrid to Mülheim, Germany, located about 20 miles north of Düsseldorf. In 2011, Telvent was acquired by Schneider Electric, a huge global company (180,000 employees). I am still doing more or less the same thing, but now concentrating on Central Europe (Scandinavia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, and down into the East European (former Soviet Bloc) countries such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, as well as Greece and Turkey. In 2018, Schneider Electric merged its software business with AVEVA, a UK company.
In April 2021, I retired from AVEVA, and continue to reside in Mülheim, shuttling back and forth a couple of times a year to California.
Latest Update:
In April 2022, I took on a part-time position as Business Development Consultant for a German company specializing in simulation software for gas pipelines. Since it is part-time, I still have plenty of time to enjoy retirement.
