Joseph Lamons:  

Life My last two years of high school I transferred from East High to St Mary's. It had to do with my twin brother, but looking back, it was a great move. My life had changed a year before when I attempted to ridicule the Bible and Chrisitianity and read what it had to say for myself. To the surprise of all (even me) I ended up believing that God is real and gracious. Over the next few years I met some of the best friends I've ever had. After college and a few years in Chicago, I wanted to volunteer at Immanual Mission in Teec Nos Pos, AZ located on the Navajo Reservation. I ended up spending a few years there. I decided to join the Navy in an electronics field. After 12.5 years in the Navy I felt it was time to come out. I started work at Rigaku MSC (a company that makes X-ray Spectrometers and Diffractometers). It has been great! Recently I was promoted to National Service Manager for the Semiconductor Branch. I'm hanging out in the Rainy North West (Washington state). I still play the guitar now and then. One day I'll horrify those reading the Bio by adding a photo! School During my early years I travelled a good bit as an Air Force Brat. Though we ended up in Cheyenne Wyoming where I started school. We spent a few years away during my grade school years once near Topeka Kansas and once near Hutchenson Kansas. I started High School in East High but transferred to St Mary's a year later. It ended up being a great move. I was able to later be roomates in college with my best friend from East High, and I consider the friends from Saint Mary's to be an impact in my life for all time. I have not been able to communicate with many of my friends from there, but if you'd like, please look me up. College While I had originally wanted to tour Wyoming with guitar and my friend Chris Howes, I suppose parental pressure resigned me to a first semester at LCCC in Cheyenne. I then transferred to University of Wyoming in Laramie. After a few years in the sciences, I switched to Electical Engineering (which was not so friendly if you know what I mean). After being out of funds, I returned to school in 1986 and soon out of funds again, so I joined the Navy to finish school. Nearly 7 years later I mustered up three years more of college at Southern Illinois University in 1993 to 1996 in Work Force Education and Training. I'm still looking to finish electrical engineering someday once I trade in my slide rule for Auto Cad. Workplace After finishing college in 1980 I enjoyed working in Electronic Repair (and basic design) at Telescan Electronincs until I set it aside in 1983 to work at a school in Arizona situated on the Navajo Indian Reservation called Immanual Mission School. I loved being there. In 1986 I returned to University of Wyoming to continue college, but couldn't pay for it with a part time job. I joined the Navy for a 3 year active commitment that turned into nearly 13 years. During the few years on shore assignments I worked part time jobs in upper end const...Expand for more
