Lowell's Story

Fresh out of high school I headed off to Cal State Hayward and, after graduating with a Business degree, north to Alaska for 6 years or so. Up there I worked in politics and then in IT and other things for the Governor's Office. When I finally decided that living at the far end of the world was getting to be a bit much, I headed back to the warmer climes in the Bay Area and then east to Folsom, just outside Sacramento. There, I ran an IT department for an aerospace company in Rancho Cordova, a systems development department for a financial institution and then got into management and IT consulting. For the past 11 years now I've been up here in the state of Washington, in Bellevue on the east side of Lake Washington, working as a project management and marketing consultant for the AT&T wireless. Now, aside from the professional and geographic history, on a more personal note... I still enjoy playing the guitar and the piano and back in the '90s I took up painting (mostly westerns and outdoor scenes). I'm still into the outdoors and...Expand for more
fly fishing but over the past 3 years or so I've taken what one might call an "avid" interest in golf that's taking up most of my daylight hours on the weekends and eating pretty heavily into my fishing time. (I figure that golfing 12 months a year through the winter in the rain and snow qualifies as at least an "avid" interest.) The good thing about it is that I've finally gotten my handicap down to the mid teens, the bad thing is that I'm finding that I don't hold up in and recover from the cold and wet as well as I did 30 years or so ago. My folks raised my two nieces after my brother passed away back in '86 and moved from their house down on Rettig in Oakland up to El Dorado Hills in 2002. Though my dad passed away this last spring, my mom is still going strong and seems to be enjoying living in the Sierra foothills. Though I'm currently unmarried, I have found a very special lady friend here in the soggy northwest and...who knows? Meanwhile, we're having a great time hitting the links, concerts, etc. together and life is great.
