Kids:

Heidi, our daughter & son in law Mark Snell live in West Seattle where Mark overseas a civilian Coast Guard Project Management Group across the US.

Mark our son and Darci Helbling live in Spokane, WA with their two sons Ethan 4, and Logan 6 months.  Mark is a District Sales Manager for a surgical supply company and Darci is the Global Marketing Manager for a pharmaceutical testing company.

Following graduation from Moscow High, I attended the University of Idaho and received degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Business.  This led to an initial career job as an Engineer and Operations Manager for Atlantic Richfield Hanford Company in Richland, WA. 

In Richland, I met my wife Judy, a WSU graduate, completed a MBA degree and our daughter Heidi was born.  In 1976 I began a 30+ year career with Exxon Nuclear/Siemens Power Corporation managing large accounts for US utilities that generate electricity.  We were transferred to company headquarters in Bellevue, WA in 1979 and our son Mark was born in 1982.

Until retirement, I was responsible for business development and large account management for utilities in Japan, Korea and Taiwan.  Judy retired after a 20+year teaching career at Bellevue Christian School.

In retirement we spend 7 months/year in our Redmond, WA primary home and 5 months/year in our La Quinta, CA (Palm Springs Valley) snowbird home.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion.
