to Reno NV, where I still live today. Here in Reno I worked as a newspaper journalist for 9 years and then went back to industry as the chief inspector and quality manager for an avionics repair shop in Sparks NV for 8 years. Laid off in 2020 during the pandemic I would go on to work briefly as a quality engineer designing and building a medical device to find lost sharps during robotic surgery. Semi retired in 2024, I now work for H&R Block preparing tax returns seasonally. Went back to college at TMCC and received an associate of science in robotics programming and geographical information systems. Completed an internship at the Desert Research Institute using satellites orbiting Mars to search for possible rock formations covering ice water beneath. I hope to marry my partner of 10 years, Priscilla. I have a second family of children, Danielle and Gio. In 2020 I finished my conformation in the Catholic faith and regularly attend St. Rose of Lima. My daughter and her husband are raising Claire here, my granddaughter, who I love to visit.
