Jim's Story
Life
I moved to Los Angeles in 1987 and decided to focus on graduating from High School, something I had not previously worried about. During senior year I had to attend Northrop University at night to make up elective credits. With the help of Denise, Dorothy, Dan, and Josie and the determination of my Uncle Ken I graduated from Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach, CA on time and with an overall GPA of 3.00. I continued to attend Northrop University and received my Airframe and Powerplant licenses early in 1989. July of 1989 I started my bitter/sweet career with United Airlines and moved north to Fremont. August of 1989 I married my wife, Jocelyn (Josie). By far, it was the best decision I have made. In 1991 I transferred to LAX and we moved back to L.A. February 1992 Jimmy was born. In October we bought a house in Lancaster, CA (for those in Northern, CA Lancaste...Expand for more
r is to L.A. what Modesto, Tracy, and Stockton are to the Bay Area). In 1995 I returned to dirt bikes and got Jimmy and Josie involved. I got sore, Jimmy got stitches, and Josie broke her back. Today Jimmy and I race offroad and Josie supports us, no more dirt bikes for her. Josie works full time and attends college full time in pursuit of a business degree. Jimmy, like his Mom and unlike me, is an excellent student. He has earned his way into the G.A.T.E. program, often aces the CAT 6 tests, rarely brings home anything but an A, and is in a science program that is sponsored by NASA and the USAF at nearby Edwards Air Force base. I'm very proud of my Family. I continue to be employed with United and volunteer as an officer for AMA District 37 and as the Vice President of the Lost Coyotes Motorcycle Club. I keep busy to stay out of trouble. I should have got busy sooner!
