Jan 1st 2011 update
2010 was one of the best years in my life. Skated all year and never got hurt once.. at least not real bad, reconected with so many old class mates, mostely through Facebook.
The reunion was a blast! Thank you to all that made it possible. I know how much hard work you all put in. Tammy we couldnt have done it with out you. So thank you so much.
I started my own telecomunications business offering discounts on services you already pay for, such as Dish or Direct TV, cell phones, ADT home security, Digital phones, local long distance and much more. Gas and Electric discounts as well.
My wife Dawna's home gift and decor store "INDULGE", is doing great. Located @ 1340 Huntoon St. Oroville Ca.

1) One night I was doing a burn out in the student parking lot, (74 RED FORD COURIER WITH THE V8 =)
Out of no were Kevin Potes, came out of no were and smacked me in the head reaching right through my door. I was pissed but I probably deserved it. We've all done our shares of stupid things right.....Kevin thought I could have thrown rocks on his paint
2)Once I was on the passenger side coming back from lunch and my buddy Greg Blalock (CLASS of 88) floored it rolling through the bus zone, getting side ways, smoking the tires. He was driving his friends 55 Chevy Nomad that had over 600 horsepower, anyway it made me flinch and grabbed my FULL SUPPER big gulp.. well lets just say the contents of that big gulp ended up in my lap and all over the floor.
3)Anyone could tell you I never partied when I was younger. Still don't more than a few times per year. Anyways I had a couple crazy situations. Once Larry Heafner (Class of 89) was working at Town & Country Liquor for (ROP) job training. He arranged to smuggle out Jack Daniels and Segrems 7 on a regular basis. One day at lunch he talked me and 4 chicks, names will remain unknown, to go with him at lunch and take a few swigs. All I know is some how between me, Larry and one of the girls we pounded 2 bottles of Jack and one bottle of segrams 7. We were out past the Robinson store and when we came back he flew threw that intersection with out stopping, not only not stopping he ducked his head and wasn't looking either. We could have been all killed. Then here comes 5th period. Mr.. McKenzie probably new I was wasted, but didn't say anything. He told me to go run laps since I wouldn't stop talking...lol I remember Aaron Depue telling me to shut up before I got caught. Well after falling down several times I made it to 6th period. By then I was very very drunk. I had Mrs. Betger. She never said a word to me. I went to the back of the class and put my head down. Head was spinning out of control, and I was sweating puddles of sweat all over the desk. Finally the 6th period was over, I didn't say a word just tried to make it to the bathroom,, just down the 200 wing to the right and OOOO-noooo--- PUKnnn PukNNn some more right in the trash can. Then a good guy Lyle Leonard grabbed me up and helped me to the bath room were I puked a while more. Lyle was so good, he drove me to 7-11 and bought me the strongest bubbalishous gum he could find then dropped me off at home. I went strait to bed not telling anyone anything except I was sick.
The next day I vowed not to ever drink again, and I didn't for a long time...lol
If anyone remembers any funny stories I might have been apart of let me know.

2006 I got back into skateboarding after taking 15 yrs off. I live close to the Oroville Skate park, so you might find me there early some mornings before I head to the shop.

My Sis and I were hanging out with Wee Man and his Skate team, when they visited Oroville. Then everyone went to the Bedrock Skatepark and skated, fun day, and Wee Man can shred pretty good!
