I sometimes forget all that I have done in my lifetime. When I look back I am grateful.  I was a part of a small youth group that got the opportunity to perform at Gustavo Dudamel's Inauguration into the LA Phil harmonic which took place  on the side patio of the Hollywood Bowl a short walk down on the hill from the patio and you'd be able to see the Bowl.  I recall Mr. Wakefield needed volunteers to assist in setting up music stands. I volunteered, it was during the school day, so I got written permission to help set up. There were two volunteers.  We drove to Hollywood Bowl dropped off and set up the stands.  Then we walked around Hollywood, ate McDonalds and got asked if we were from Loony Town. Later on we came back with the whole band and performed. We got to sit in on speeches and other musical performances. Mr. Dudamel thanked his wife while holding a bouquet of flowers on stage. He gave a story about his childhood, when he was a brass instrument player, ...

After, Audeze I went on to work at NAVSEA Corona as a civilian quality assurance engineer under DOD/DON.  There, I covered quality standards for FBM in life extension.  I unfortunately did not work on anything classified while I was working there and only handled CUI, predominantly CUI that I created off of unclassified material.  The goal and purpose was deterrence. I traveled across the country with the team walking through prime contractors' offices and manufacturing floors.  Being an evaluator, for the first year, was my only responsibility. During the second year we got to travel to Washington DC to work as third party contractors on a rotational basis. There my responsibility covered summarizing Corrective Action and presenting them to temporary management in DC.   I had an awesome opportunity to get a tour of USS Carl Vinson, visit museums in Washington DC and scavenge an antique shop Indiana.   I had great co-workers. They were all amicabl...

     I attended North Park middle school, now known as the North Park Academy of the Arts in Pico Rivera, CA. I joined band "The Band that is Wearing Green". There I did a lot of volunteer work through Mr.Wakefields volunteer program called Kids helping Kids. Mr. Wakefield was the band director at that time. Along with other classmates we volunteered at Shriners Hospitals, the Children's institute of Los Angeles and at a religious organization. I would teach the clarinet at the Children's Institute and at a religious organization. At the Shriners Hospital I would teach the recorder. I was always amazed at how children were so resilient, a particular child at Shiners, I recall, would play the recorder with their feet. At these locations the children's experiences ranged from health conditions, neglect trauma to some of the highest levels of abuse one can imagine. I would volunteer with my friends, we would practice a couple of days with the band after school and ab...

Headphones, Speakers, AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Electrode Sensors When I got out of college I couldn't find a job right away. The interview process took months. I was on the third round of interviews with Tesla and was beginning to interview for Arrow electronics. I contacted two college classmates to see if they knew of any job openings. One, who was working in an assembly line at a headphone company named Audeze, said there was an opening for packaging boxes through a temp agency. I took the position. I did that for a few weeks when my college acquaintance said she had another job lined up and was getting ready to part ways from Audeze, our manager had asked why she was leaving and she let him know that she had a degree in electrical engineering and she was looking for jobs that were closer in that field. She let him know that I had a degree in electrical engineering as well. Later that day the manager passed by the assembly line. He asked if I had a degree in electrical e...
