Well we all are nearing the end of the race and I am excited to reacquaint myself with many of you and rehash old memories (if you can still remember any of them). I can honestly say I have fought the good fight and I am finishing the race. I would love to hear from any of you even if we ran in different circles during those youthful years at Kenmore.

Believe it or not, but I remember many of you as many of my student activities crossed paths with the majority of our senior class from my activity in Student Council, Orchestra, Letterman's Club, Track and Cross-country, college prep courses, PE, homeroom and all those great lunch time discussions. I have had many lifetime experiences that few are honored to have, but I still cherish those couple of years at Kenmore when we crossed paths and you influenced my life. If you would like to see what I have been involved in that will make a better life for all of us, check out the following award link.

I designed my own dream home using the energy savings techniques I have learned as an engineer. I currently serves as the Director for Energy Resource Management for the Defense Logistics Agency and received the 2009 Federal Energy Management Meritorious Service Award. I graduated Cum Laude with a Masters of Engineering Degree from Brigham Young University, I was privileged to be an Army test pilot and flight test engineer. I am a Certified Energy Manager with 20 years active involvement performing energy audits and energy reduction project development. I received the Secretary of the Army’s Energy and Water Management Award three times, and the Federal Energy Management Award three times.

My dream home had a full court basketball gym in Meridian, Idaho that I used as a heat sink to reduce my utility cost. The over 6,750 SF home was heated and cooled with a monthly average electric bill of only $68/per month and average natural gas bill of $59 per month. I was accepted to the Navy Test Pilot School and Pre-Astronaut Program before resigning my Active Duty Commission. I own a toy company that produces a high tech plastic multiple shot rubber band shooter that launches glow in the dark rubber bands. I am the father of seven with all possessing professional degrees. I have currently 20 grandchildren. I was active as a High School Sports Official and a Scout Master for the Boy Scouts of America.
