What have you been up to since high school?:
well, let's see... since graduating in 1980, i thought i would fly around the world for awhile, become an actor/singer/writer, start my own business, make lotsa money (lost lotsa money) you name it! little did i know it would ALL happen AND more! i went to college, started flying for United Airlines in 1984... (now 27 yrs later still flying with United-soon to merge with Continental), lived downtown Chgo. for 3 yrs, lived in Cancun while commuting to Chgo, moved to San Francisco in 1987, bought a place in S.F., then bought a place in Manhattan, NY, commuted to S.F., then moved to D.C., commuted to S.F. and Manhattan, then bought a place in Glendale (L.A.), Ca. commuted to S.F., then transferred to fly out of LAX in 1999 and then bought a place in Hollywood in 2004, then bought a place in Toluca Lake (L.A.), Ca. in 2006. i finally stopped the madness of living on the East Coast only to work out of the West Coast. the joys of working for an Airline. |
