Michael Vitco:  

Life After graduation I worked a few jobs including a stint as foreman of a custom glass shop. I moved to a job with Gerry Baby Products which I stayed at for the next seventeen years, becoming a building supervisor. During all of this time I remained single and spent every moment away from work playing guitar and bass professionally. Through the 80's Gigs everywhere put many weeknights, most weekends, all vacation, personal, and leave time to great use. The late 80's and early 90's included strings of gigs opening shows for Blue Oyster Cult, Foghat, Killer Dwarfs, and others - I have also done a bit of voice work including some radio commercials for Z-Rock. After leaving the music biz in 1993 I decided to start the next phase of my life by cutting my hair, getting a little more sleep every night, getting back to church, and locating a wife. I married Tam Than in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on November 1, 1995. It took two years to get immigration you-know-what completed and on August 17, 1997 Tam and her 5 year-old son Huy arrived in Denver. At that time I went to work for Cummins Rocky Mountain, L.L.C. and began managing several national maintenance contracts (emergency/standby power generation) for Telecommunications companies along with scheduling local crews. Whirlwind stuff. Outside-of-work "gigs" include five years with the Denver Police Athletic League as assistant defensive coach for Huy's football team, as an assistant coach with Jeffco baseball. Now that Huy will be moving on to High School I will leave the coaching to them. As of the time of this writing - February 24, 2006 all is rolling along well. I consider myself blessed as Tam and Huy are gifts beyond measure and I thank God every day for them. We enjoy occasional traveling along with quiet times at home, and of course, we all enjoy many different flavors of music. I do squeeze out time to work out, ski, and build more Halloween stuff. I like playing around with my investments too. I enjoy golf, but I think the time for that won't come around for a while yet - maybe in the next phase. Note: Music never leaves the blood as I've still got all my equipment stashed away - sometimes here and there music flows out of the basement shop and even once in a while the volume rattles the windows. Life is awesome aint it? MAV 2011 Update- Now our son Huy is up at CU he is studying physiology which translates to post grad which means we will have a college student for twenty somethnig years(?) I have been golfing more and although I am improving this is still the most difficult thing I have ever done. Still working out, and God forbid, playing some guitar. As just a passing thought perhaps I should put together a band of fifty-somethnigs and name it "Steel Prostate". Time not being an adundant commodity limits any serious go at either of the two G's - Golf and Guitar. I still like my job so time ...Expand for more
