Go West Young Man!
My move from Wisconsin to Los Angeles
In May of 1996 I finished my Applied Mathematics degree from the University
of Wisconsin-Stout and accepted a job with XonTech, Inc. in Van Nuys, CA.
It was a pretty big step for me because I didn't know anyone in the Los
Angeles area. The closest people to L.A. that I knew were my aunt
and uncle and some of my former classmates in Arizona. Aside from
them, the nearest people were in the Midwest.
These are a few snapshots I took from the driver's seat of my trusty
old 1987 Isuzu Trooper. I packed the Trooper with most of my immediately
needed possessions and headed west. I made it to Denver the first
night, stopped by to visit my friends in Flagstaff, AZ the next night,
and then made it to L.A. the next evening after enduring the WORST
traffic I had ever seen! It was Memorial Day weekend and it seemed
all of Los Angeles was returning from a weekend vacation in Las Vegas.
