I was born in SoCal and grew up in the South Bay of So Cal (only a couple cities away from Dwight) in a city called San Pedro. Life seemed like it was going to keep me in that town where I would be a longshoreman, married, kids a BIG suv and well...Im glad it didn't.
I worked for a drug store chain for a few years and was working my way up in management but that all ended one day when I dropped my keys on the GMs desk to go pursue an interest in car audio. That little gig led me to another company that led to an even better company that I have worked for for over 15 years now.
While working for that company I applied for a position (three times) and finally got it. Thing is the last time I applied I did it for exposure so I could get the job the guy that was supposed to get it had. NOT! I got it and I moved to Oregon sight unseen.
Now, I skipped a few things...I had lived in No Cal for a year in Santa Rosa and realized how much I liked trees and friendly people. I wound up back in So Cal but dreaded every waking second of it so the Oregon thing was a shock but once I got there and realized what Northwest life was like I had no issues. I had found home.
Well...a few years later I moved to So Cal AGAIN. This was short lived and almost a year to the date I was give the opportunity to move back to the Northwest only a bit further north this time to the Seattle area.
Id still rather live in Oregon but Ill take Seattle. Especially since Im now a homeowner here.
