I grew up East Of L.A. till I was 17 and b/c of family hardship we moved to Tennessee after selling everything and starting over, Yes it was a major culture shock lol. Joined the Navy in 89 and was stationed in San Diego for 4 years. After getting out with no regrets ended coming back to Tn. Did some odd jobs for a year then landed this job at the Oakridge National Lab. I've been married to my 2nd wife for 11 years and I have 3 Girls.
