WolRon bioWell, here I am. Mr. Ron Wolbeck. Not much to look at, is there?
Actually, I really like this photo. I've always been a fan of Schwarzenegger, and I think I might
look a bit like him in this pose. What do you think? The image on the right was shot in Negril, Jamaica at Margaritaville during my sisters wedding in 2005. We had a wonderful time and stayed at the Wyndham Rose Hall Resort. Here's a photo of us all posing for one of my sisters wedding photos. The photo includes me and my ex-wife, my parents, brother and sisters, ex-sister-in-law, and my then new brother-in-law. I have two daughters but they aren't in the photo because they didn't come along on that trip.
Well, since this is a biography page, I might as well tell you about myself: I joined the Minnesota National Guard in Dec. 1991 during my senior year of high school. After graduating high school, I went to Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training for TOW/Dragon Missile Maintenance at Redstone Arsenal in 1992. I returned from AIT in 1993. I started school at Staples Tech. for an AAS in Robotics/Automated Systems Technology in 1993. I started dating Tina Fearing from Long Praire, Minnesota in early 1994. I acquired the AAS Degree in Robotics in 1995. I immediately acquired a job in Chicago, IL. at Ellison Machinery and Robotics and spent the next 9 months constructing a $2,000,000 cell consisting of 6 machines and 2 robots. Avery, our first daughter was born in Aug. of 1995. The three of us moved back to Minnesota since we wanted to be closer to family. Kalley, our second daughter was born 10 months later in June of 1996. I married Tina in July of 1996 at the age of 22 (Tina was 19). We moved several times and bought two houses over the next few years. During that time I worked at: several jobs but finally landed a job at Columbia Gear in Avon, Minnesota in 1998 as a machinist. One year later, I transferred to the maintenance department of Columbia Gear. I quit the National Guard in Dec. 2000 after 9 years of service. We built our third house in 2002 in Melrose, MN with a total of 2073 square feet of space per floor (two floors) and a garage with 1020 square feet of space. It's a nothing fancy Rambler style house, but the interior is nice and it's big. Tina and I divorced in Sept. of 2006 after 10 years of marriage. I continue to live at the house in Melrose. I am currently still working at Columbia Gear (11 years at the time of this writing) as an electrical/mechanical maintenance technician fixing machines. I continue to work there yet since they continue to pay me decently. Over the years, I have dabbled in writing computer programs, mostly games, including Scare Me for the XBox360. I've made well over $7000 off of my games/websites so far. I am currently sitting at 36 years of age (at the time of this writing). I guess I'll end this with a photo of myself from a 6-9 month time span where I decided
to just let my hair grow (in retaliation for my ex-wife not keeping her promise to quit
smoking :) |
