About Me:
Greetings, I am the host of Nimaway. For privacy reasons, I refrain from sharing anything about me, prioritizing the protection of my family’s privacy.
My journey began at age 12, where I embarked on odd jobs and landscaping ventures to save for my first car. During my high school years, I dedicated myself to full-time work at a restaurant until enlisting in the United States Air Force at 18.
There, I specialized as a Hydraulic and Pneumatic systems technician, servicing C5A, C141, and KC135 Aircrafts at Travis AFB, California.
Following my military service, I transitioned to a career working with several large retail businesses, where I’ve held various roles spanning over 47 years. Alongside my professional endeavors, I pursued higher education and earned a BS Degree in Business.
My career has taken me across the United States, overseeing significant retail projects, from store remodels to new setups, as well as serving in managerial and project management roles. Even in retirement, I continue to dedicate a few days a week to assisting those in need, providing labor and support. The lack of appreciation is evident as you get older and my contributions seem to be less and less important to the younger generation. At age 69, nobody takes my skills, knowledge and ability seriously anymore. As we age out of the work force the younger generation discards our knowledge and contributions (at least a few don’t)
My Hobbies:
Beyond my professional life, I find fulfillment in family. Married with two grown daughters and three granddaughters and one grandson. I cherish moments spent with them as they navigate their own paths.
Devoted to public service, I volunteer for three non-profit organizations within my county, alongside contributing to the State of California Office of Emergency Services.
In my spare time, I indulge in various pursuits, from website development to automotive repairs, household maintenance, and computer troubleshooting. They say busy hands are happy hands, and I couldn’t agree more. I have learned to fix about everything by myself, from pellet stoves, HVAC systems, electrical repair, deck building, landscaping, automotive and truck repair and more.
I invite you to explore our blog, and hopefully the information presented will make you think. You can comment if you want but most people don’t. It’s not much fun to hide behind a keyboard when you don’t know who the blog author is – and make unprofessional comments so I am not much fun.
The life of this blog will come to a close at the end of 2026, as I focus on my payback to the communities with my volunteer work. This way I can directly help those in our community. Besides, the Internet is just too congested for my blog to survive the test of time. Like all things, they eventually come to an end. Thanks for your traffic to my website.
