For over a decade, Nimaway has been our cherished website name. While numerous historical references to Nimaway can be found online, our site tells a different story. Nimaway was the beloved name of our faithful border collie, whose untimely passing inspired us to adopt it as our email domain. Over time, Nimaway has grown beyond a mere domain name into something more meaningful.
About Me:
Greetings, I am Mike, the host of Nimaway. For privacy reasons, I refrain from sharing my last name, 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 in a major Auto Parts chain, where I’ve held various roles spanning over 45 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 automotive 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.
My Hobbies:
Beyond my professional life, I find fulfillment in family. Married with two grown daughters and three granddaughters, 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. Additionally, I maintain a part-time job to supplement my retirement income.
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.
Regarding my website, it serves as a platform for me to engage with the world independently of social media’s constraints. Here, I control the narrative, allowing for open discussion and exchange of ideas without external influence. As a Registered Republican, I uphold values of constitutional freedoms, law and order, secure borders, and parental rights. I believe in limited government, advocating for individual autonomy in lifestyle choices.
While my viewpoints may provoke debate, my intention is to foster meaningful dialogue and understanding. Whether you agree or disagree, your input is valued and encouraged.
I invite you to explore our blog, understanding that it may not resonate with everyone. If it doesn’t align with your interests, feel free to move on. Nimaway isn’t meant to cater to all, but rather to provide a space for genuine discourse and reflection.
