More about me

Hello, My name is Larry, I live in Northern California and I am still gainfully employed at Hewlett Packard Company as a Planner/Program Coordinator, I have been at HP for 20 years.  I am married (25 Years) to my lovely wife Veronica.  We have 1 daughter, Jennifer who is getting married on November 17, 2007.  I have 3 children from a previous marriage, and we have 5 super grand children. My youngest son Larry is a Sargeant in the U.S. Army and currently deployed to Iraq, we are quite proud of him!

I was born in Detriot and when the Vietnam war was on I joined the U.S. Navy and spent 8 1/2 years in the service. I was an Aircrew Survival Equipmentman ( Parachute Rigger)and stationed in California with deployments to southeast Asia and Japan. 

I worked as an EMT on an Ambulance, I obtained my education in Occupational Health and Safety Management and Mechanical Design Engineering, and I have worked as a Facilities/Safety/security Manager and at HP as a Hardware Design Engineer.  I hope to retire in 3-5 years and begin traveling the US.

We own a 2002 TrailManor travel trailer and try to spend as much time as we can on the road.  Once retired, we hope to travel the US and visit every Civil War battlefield.

I thank God for the many blessings that have been bestowed on me and my family and am so grateful for my relationship with Him.
