***Update 4/7/09***
I was elected as Alderman for Ward 1 in the City of Plano and will be sworn in on May 11, 2009.
Well it has been a long run and I keep going. I was a Captain on the Plano Fire dept. and served from 7/1990 to 10/2006. I was elected as an Alderman for the City of Plano and served 6 years on the city council. I have coached baseball many years for my kids.
I ride jetskis and whenever time allows I can be found on the water somewhere.
I have a snowplowing business as well in the winter and it's snowing I am never home for days on end.
I remarried in May 2008, to a wonderful woman her name is Michelle.(See pictures below) Anything else you want to know? Shoot me an e-mail.I am always willing to chat. |

School Story: |
|
I really didn't care for school too much at the time. I think it is on eof hind sight things, right?
I was either working on my car or just plain working.
I will always be greatful for Burr teaching me the ways in the building trades and industrial arts. It has helped me in doing remodels and finishing basements...
One of my best memories was when the bus driver, Mrs. Stieniger would bring breakfast for us after she dropped off the others at IVVC. Building Trades was the BEST. |
| Who was your most favorite teacher during your years attending school in Plano and why? |
|
My favorite teacher was Mrs. Pennington. Not exactly sure why, but maybe because she was a friend of the family and she still to this day calls me Michael John.
|
| Who was your worst teacher during those years and give a reason why? |
|
Miss Eichenauer. She just scared me to death. I hated all those stupid notes, spelling tests, and all of the stupid homework she gave out. We were kids for pete's sake. We needed to play sports and such not waste time on homework all freaking night.
Just my opinion.
|
| If you could, would you go back to High School and do it over again, and if so why? |
|
Yes I think I would. I would definately take it more serious and probably would have played more sports and done some more of the harder classes and not just skim by on the minimum requiremants.
But who am I kidding? I am and was then who I am. So, I'd probably just done what I already did the first time. But I am old so to be young and dumb over again would be nice maybe for about a week.
|
| What was the funniest thing to ever happen to you or that you have done? |
|
I do so many funny and crazy things I cannot even start to list them. If one should stand out at one point I will add it to this for you all.
Maybe the weirdest would be for me to be putting together our reunion. I helped get youall here,now it's up to you to have fun and enjoy it your way.
|
What is the scariest thing you have ever done?
|
|
Having to do CPR on one of my own childen. Hands down.
Second would be getting trapped in a house fire, just made our own exit with our tools.
|
| Where is your favorite place to visit? |
|
I like Florida beaches the most. A very close second would be Las Vegas. I like to play craps so Vegas is always calling my name...
|
| Favorite vacation spot you would tell your friends to go and why? |
|
Orlando and Las Vegas. I enjoy Florida with the entire family and the beaches. Good time had by all usually.
Las Vegas, well let's just say I like to play craps all night.
I also enjoyed San Fransico. Rode the cable cars, spent the entire day at Alcatraz. The streets are very up and down. Driving there was also very different than anywhere around here. I thought people were crazy in Chicago...
|
| What were your favorite shows growing up? Include all cartoons and other show as well. |
|
Speed Racer was my #1.
Lost in Space, Land of the Lost, Ray Raynor before school, Scooby-Doo, Sigmond and the Sea Monsters, Shazzam!, Six Million Dollar Man, Dukes of Hazzard, Banana Splits, H.R. Puffenstuff.
Oh I think the list could go on forever...

This was right before the doorbell rang during my vows to Michelle... A lady that works with her was running late and instead of just coming in the house, they rang the doorbell first... It was still a GREAT day. I think we will be sending the video to AFV for the ten grand prize.

I built my son his very own 1/2 pipe in our back yard. It is 8' wide, 24' long and 4' high. You can hardly get him off it long enough to eat and sleep.
He is on that so much he even set up lights so he can skate when it gets too dark to see.

She is now shaving my head.....It was for a GREAT cause I kept saying. My cousin Jason Gould passed away from luekemia just before this. That was my driving force to participate in this event.
