Ricky Vidaurri

Where to start...I went to CJC for 2 years then I joined the Army. I was stationed in Hawaii for 4 years. In those four years I ended up being deployed a couple of times to Iraq and Afghanistan. After my last tour in Iraq I went on an Hawaiian Island hopping trip for a few months before leaving and returning to Texas. I came back home and began attending school once more for my bachelors degree, and once again I was being called up for another tour around 2006. I spent 6 months working on and configuring our satellite communications equipment then in August 2006 I left for Iraq. I came back after 13 months and found the love of my life. We starting dating in 2007 and we moved in together in 2008. We are planning our wedding as I type. I found work with General Electric as a Field Engineer in their Wind Energy program. I enjoy what I do and I think we are making a difference. So right now I am working for GE Energy and I have recently changed degree plans and am finishing my degree in Engineering Management.

Favorite story. I have a few that involve my best friend, Dustin Perry. One we both landed dates for our senior prom with a couple of ACU juniors. Another time I remeber racing Dusitn's festiva down Sayles. I remeber that my truck key could open his car I had a few laughs with that one. I remember eating at IHOP after a long night of working on the set of our Senior Musical.
