Julie's Story
Life
FUN FACT: During a summer break from college (1985?), I was the cook at Nickerson Farms Restaurant on US 23 and Sterns. I have been married for 20 years (in August 2008), and have one daughter, age 17 (in May).
I have been living in CA for the past 12 years (near Santa Cruz --10 minutes from the ocean). My husband is a Senior Scientist at Apple Computers.
I currently own a writing and public relations business, where I work as a free-lance journalist for various "geek" and techie magazines, such as Enterprise Systems Journal and Midrange Systems. This means I get to work at home in T-shirts and shorts. Also, I have written numerous ghost-written articles for large Silicon Valley companies (Sun, Silicon Graphics, HP) in major business oriented magazines (Business Week, Industry Standard).
I don't care if my name is not on the byline --just on the check! In MI, I got one client taped for a news program on CNN. Unfortunately, that was at the time of the OJ Simpson trial, and our company just couldn't compete with that news. ...Expand for more
I also got to meet the lead singer from Men at Work, Colin Hay, when he played at a small local venue.
I still like to keep up with my painting, and have sold paintings in galleries and through self-promotion.
One of my first jobs, I worked on Top Secret government projects, such as the Stealth and the Hummer.
Several years ago, I competed in trhe Susan G. Koman 5K run. It was quite a change from being a former coach potato. I usually jog about 2-3 miles, 5 times a week and take our dog "Dallas" when I go.
My favorite TV shows currently almost everything on the Discovery and The Learning Channel. I hand-make wood, glass and shell bracelets that I sell through a variety of venues.
I am also a part-time volunteer bartender at a local social organization.
I sell a variety of goods PT on eBay..and still have a 100% feedback rating with more than 50 transactions.
Eric (husband) and I are having a car restored for our 20th anniversary. It is a 1968 Mercury Monterey Convertible, with a 390 v8. It is a complete frame-off resto.
