I enjoy doing business with people that I know preferring the comfort of doing business with professionals that I have built relationships with. It is tough to establish bonds on social media/professional networking sites or by phone but that doesn't mean that we can't try. Today I am going to offer some things that you may not know about me.
1. I grew up in the small steel town of McKees Rocks, PA which is less than 5 miles down the Ohio River from downtown Pittsburgh.
2. I was an only child. My father was a crane operator and my mom a housewife.
3. Growing up I was a huge fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers. I still passionately follow the Pirates.
4. My first job was in high school working as an usher in a Pittsburgh movie theater. When I graduated I was promoted to manager of the Fiesta Theater.
5. I left college after 2 years to pursue a career. I started in consumer finance as a manager trainee which was really a nice title for a "bill collector."
6. Two years later I was promoted to manager. In coming years I was transferred to San Antonio, Corpus Christi and finally Orange, CA which is how I settled in California.
7. I left the consumer finance industry and became a mortgage lender where I helped families obtain their first homes. I also managed groups of other mortgage professionals taking pride in helping them establish their careers and helping others.
8. I once again changed careers and became a recruiter when we moved to Morro Bay, CA. We had long planned to retire here but decided to move earlier and enjoy our favorite place.
9. My wife and I have been married for 26 years and our daughter is 30.
10. I have always been a dog lover and we have 2 dogs. You probably remember seeing them in some of my posts.
11. I am a devout Christian, very active in our community through Church, Rotary Club and the Chamber of Commerce. I am on hiatus from Rotary and the Chamber.
