Robert's Story

Feel like catching up? You can contact me via personal email: cadvanceddesigns {at}msn.com. I always wanted to be an Engineer when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a great idea. As it turns out, they were correct. I still dabble a bit playing music but at my age, gigging in clubs is not fun anymore. So I concentrate on my sons musical abilities to carry on the tradition. How do you blow off steam? Describe your favorite way to relax? HMMMM......Playing Bass Guitar, Reading, Camping, Hunting, Shooting and Riding Dirt Bikes! Hobbies include Miltary Model Aircraft & Cars building, Reloading Ammo and restoring Old Muscle Cars.. If I could improve my home, I'd remodel The Kitchen and add on a larger Deck. My dream home would be High Tech Victorian Style in the moutains on several hundred acres with all the State-of-the-Art Gadgets. I've learned that raising children requires constant interaction between parents and children. Proper parenting is like juggling, you have to be the guiding force in your kids development but flexible enough to allow them the opportunity to explore their dreams and ambitions. If I won $100 million, I'd give 10% of it to my Church, then spend the rest on my Kids Education, pay off debt, Build my dream home with a recording studio so that my boys can further their musical interests. Oh and take the entire family on a dream Family Reunion vacation. Where have you lived? Why did you move? I have lived several places some stand out more than others like Hastings, NE; Manassas, VA; and my favorite Broomfield, CO. I remember daydreaming in little ole Walthill, NE that someday I was going to live in Colorado and I have made that dream come true! The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is my Grandmother Arnold she always knew how to cheer me up and make me feel good. Her stories about her life always kept me intrigued and I never tired of them. Sports. Reality TV. Pets. Share your obsessions. Well I still love my Huskers football win or lose I will always be a fan! My current age is 69. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be so mature and knowledgeable. I was so completely surprised to find that many my own age are not as mature and responsible adults as I envisioned. Of course I am sure others that know me well would s...Expand for more
ay I do not act my age either! I am currently a Retired Staff Mechanical Engineer from Lockheed Martin, engineering High-Tech Systems Designs for Space, Defense and Military applications. I never dreamed that an indescribable young boy growing up in an indescribable small farm community would some day be designing High Tech Equipment for the Space Administration and the Military. I never envisioned that I would someday do these things and also invent new things that would earn me 3 Patents in the process as well as some of my engineering currently on Mars. My best friend would tell you I'm a real comedian, but people who don't know me very well would probably say I was nondescript, average, shy and quiet. I'm still a man of few words... Style? ....Still dress like you did 40 (or 50) years ago? No the bell bottom jeans, wide belts nehru shirts are long gone and I do not care to see them again. I'm more comfortable in blue jeans and a casual or Tee shirt these days. I share my home with my wife and boys, which I find is interesting and takes a lot of my attention. I have several small trophies from my involvement in Coaching Little League Baseball in my community. Now that my boys are adults I am no longer active in coaching. My biggest trophy would have to be the 5x5 Bull Elk I hunted in 1996, which I had mounted and is on our living room wall. My best accomplishment would have to be my children I am proud of all of them! You get one do-over. What do you do differently? I would have concentrated more on furthering my education. In 10 years, I hope to be still enjoying retirement. I'm going to get there by managing finances and retirement accounts. What about you would surprise everyone at your high school reunion? Well I'm not the timid skinny little guy anymore! My first job was at Jims Tiptons Grocery store, where I got paid $1.50/hr to do whatever was requested of me. What I remember most about it is that was a nice place to start out and working there on Saturdays listening to the Huskers Football Games via the radio still brings back some of my fondest memories... I spend my free time these days putting the final touches to Dad's restored '52 Chevy Belair, modifying my 2nd GTO into a street racer, showing my 1st GTO at local Car Shows and attending the local GTO Car Club meetings.
