I left Globe right after high school and attened UTI in Phoenix, AZ and graduated with a 2 year Assoicates degree in Automotive and Deisel Mechanics.
I then moved to Farmington, NM and started working for Farmington Motors, A dodge dealership as a mechanic and within 2 years became lead tech. I worked for Farmington Motors for 4.5 years then I went to work for an indepenant auto shop for 2.5 years then I went to work for Ziems a Ford dealership the end of being an automotive tech.
I went to work in the oil field for Tidewater which was bought out by Universal Compression I worked for them for 10 years, 5 of which I was a supervisor over 8 employees. Its funny the industry calls it the "oil field" but here in NM it is natural gas (not the gas that comes from your BUTT Ha! Ha!)the natural gas we produce ends up in your home for energy. I currently work for ConocoPhillips as a CBM specialist. I analyze the natural gas enignes and compressors that move the gas from the ground to the refinery.
In between work I enjoy traveling on my Harley, Flying airplanes, snowmobiling, sking both water and snow, hunting, camping, Offroading, fishing the San Juan River " great big rainbow trout", Classic car shows (I have a 1971 Buick GSX)and especially spending time with my family and friends.

Do you rember a big "crash" while you where studying in class and everyone came running to the bottom floor to find a metal trash can had come crashing form the thrid floor? I wonder who it was that threw that can?

I don't remember many of the pep ralley's due do I ditched most of them and went partying or bowling.

Does anyone remember James Worden knocking out a teacher while he was fighting another kid? Too Funny!!

Oh! Yeah! can't forget the keg parties at pipeline and the CCC Camp. and at Roosevelt Lake.

While in track running the "Suicide Hill Loop" I would stop at R'Del's for an Icecream cone and visit with my Grandma!
