About Me	"Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" DRIVE FASTER!!! After HS (1966) I worked at ALCO as a draftsmen at the diesel engine room. In 1968 I enlisted in the Army as an Artillery Surveyor, and my 1st. assignment was in combat in Pleiku, Vietnam as a forward observer, and a survey computer in HHB, 4th. Infantry Division (Divarty) survey party. I was severely wounded at VC Valley, and retired as a 100% disabled Vet in September, 1969 I moved to California in 1978 to escape the harsh weather, as I love sunshine, auto racing, and the ocean. I lived in Riverside, Ca near Riverside International Raceway and March AFB. I joined the SCCA, and worked on the emergency crew at all the Pro-races in Southern CA. Long Beach F1, CART, NASCAR, Indy Car, Trans-am, IROC, and sports cars. My son Michael staid with me in Ca, while my late wife Judy(Moscardini) (1948-2001) and my daughter Julie Lynn (Puccetti) Parillo moved back to Schenectady. I graduated from the university with a BA in psychology (studied gerontology/life span developmental masters program), and worked at the VAMC in Loma Linda, CA. as a therapist/researcher/ and data manager for the Alcohol Treatment Unit; National Counsel of Alcoholism as a therapist and lead TV camera-person on their live talk show. I did video freelance work for Cencom and Charter Communication In Riverside, Ca. In 1993 I started my own TV production company (WHAT? Multimedia) and Puccetti Productions. I am a partner in Frankly Speaking TV, inc., directing programing for cable and satellite TV featuring docu-drams, talk-interview programing, commercials, videos, NASCAR schools, and the Palm Springs International Film Festival. Still trying to crack the big time, but I'm paying my dues. I collect classic still and TV cameras, Curios & Relics weapons, suntans! I love to read and I am writing screenplays and short stories and get paid! I've visit Schenectady, NY to see my mother (98), grandson Lorenzo (Teo) my daughter Julie Lynn and her husband Frank Parillo from Guilderland. I moved to Carlsbad, CA, and I love my life near the beach while enjoying some of the best climate in the world. I've had a tragedy in my family; my son Michael James passed away on September 5th. 2007, from diabetes. Mike was only 34 years old, but he battled the disease for 20 years. Mike was interned at St. Josephs Cemetery in Schenectady, NY. "...that&#...(read more)
