Following high school, I worked as a frame man and linesman
for Mt. Bell. My attempts at U of A night school were short
lived. Climbing telephone poles and hanging cable during a
couple of Tucson summers motivated my follow-on studies at
Eastern AZ and NAU, followed by post grad at Univ. of the
Pacific and back at NAU, with extension studies at UCLA and
Cambridge. Professional mgt. time spent with Shell Oil
Exploration & Production, and Shell Chemical & Development in
Labor & Industrial Relations, then Pacific Bell Commercial
Systems, and following post grad, experience with Sherwin
Williams Pain Co. as HRO Director for the Western US, Alaska,
& Hawaii were all good experience foundations for my follow-on
years in government service.
Migdalia, my wife for the past 34 yrs, and I met 38 years ago,
following a short embassy assignment in the Philippines. She
was an FA with Pan Am Air based in Hawaii, and I was a
Federal civilian assigned to the Western US, Pacific and Asia,
and living in the SF Bay Area. We’ve been fortunate to have
had the opportunity to travel, work and live internationally
throughout a good portion of the world. We have five shared
children, four are mine, and our youngest, Ryan, now 27 and a
displaced Texan living in Wisconsin, was born during a seven
yr assignment to the Caribbean.
Since retirement in ’95, Migdalia and I keep active with travel,
and volunteerism, plus elder parent involvement that live in
Tucson and San Juan, PR. We sit several different county, city
and local appointments, along with some social and club
volunteer boards and committees within our expanded So. TX
community. My latest over-achievement adventure was as
Rotary International’s District Gov. for So. TX. It was an
involved, exciting, and rewarding experience attempting to
maintain the common interest of 2.200+ successful business
and professional mostly type As.
Living adjacent to the TX Gulf for nearly 20 yrs, I’ve had the
opportunity to learn and enjoy boating, fishing and hunting,
Texas style. Yard work and handyman repair efforts, and small-
time cattle ranching also keep me physically active. Socializing,
dining and occasional travel make for an enjoyable lifestyle.
