Derek Mets Jesse James

At the local hot rod show, Jesse James, from West Coast Choppers who has located here in Austin and building custom hot rods was signing autographs.  I brought my West Coast Choppers shirt and he signed it and then I asked if he would take a picture with Derek and he agreed.  Derek was very stoked.

Derek Saw the Solar Eclipse

Derek was really excited to see the Solar eclipse, so we all took him to the best place to see the event, The Oasis Reasturant on top of Lake Travis.  We all got there and had an early dinner and drinks.  BTW, it was extremely hot, like over 100 at 6:00pm!!

Here is a picture of Derek sitting at the table steaming along with everyone else waiting on the eclipse to go down.

Our Hawaii Trip Was Great!!!

This summer I went along with Cecile, Camille, Nan, Taylor, and Hunter to the island of Maui.  This was my first trip to Hawaii and I must tell you that I had a fantastic time.  It was very peaceful and also exciting.  The snorkeling was awesome (I tried to go everyday) and the water was beautiful.  I also learned how to surf, which at my age was an accomplishment!!  Taylor and Hunter were much better than I was at surfing but it was still fun.

Here is a picture from the balcony of the Hotel in Princeville, HI.


Steve Got Promoted

Pace finally recognized Steve for all the hard work that he has done for the past 4.5 years and promoted him from Director to Vice President of Engineering and QA - Telco CAT.  He has to travel a great deal more between San Jose, Austin, and now Boca Raton.

Let's hope that Steve's team of engineers will work hard for him and that they know that he works hard to make them feel good about coming to work and having some fun in the process while putting out great products.
