The Lighthouse Story - Part One
Well, it is the last day to Say we can officially say Happy New Year as we enter the second month of 2019. Wow! January went fast. As I reflect on the past year, I am truly Thankful. I am thankful for my loving wife Teresa. Thankful that one year after a diagnosis of breast cancer she is now cancer free. I am thankful for her positive spirit and steadfast growing faith through adversity. I am thankful for the gift of five children. Andrew and peter helping in the business, Michaela beginning her career teaching 7th grade in Los Banos, Joseph in his junior year of college at Humboldt State and Grace, a junior at Del Oro High School. Eleven years ago I knew it was time for me to leave the corporate world. My career started after college as an owner of Subway Sandwiches in Tahoe City California. I had five years as a Franchise owner, Ten years with Starbucks Coffee and 4 years With Chipotle Mexican Grill. In 2008 we moved to Rocklin and I began working at REI.
