Hi Gang! Just wanted to give you guys a "heads up" on me ,so you know what kind of a nut you are messing around with!
Born in Inglewood,California in 1956, I was born January 9th,between Elvis Presley and Richard Nixon!
Grew up mostly in Orange County ,California (Westminster,now called "Little Saigon").
Went to Clara Cooke Elementary,Susan B. Anthony Elementary,Sarah Mc Garvin Junior High and La Quinta High Schools.
Joined the USN SEABEES in 1973,and went to Lane Community College,Springfield,Oregon in 1974 and 75.
In 1975 went to work for my father and several other contractors in the concrete Business in San Diego County. In 1979 went commercial fishing on a San Diego based tuna boat known as the F/V Barbara S. Learned about Tuna fishing but also learned about Inshore lobster fishing. It was this fishery that intrigued me the most and started Coastline Lobster Co. in 1980. Fished and prospered until selling the business in 1986 for $25,000 USD. In 1989 went to College of Oceaneering and Palomar College and learned Diving and wet welding underwater. I was assigned to the Gulf of Mexico where I used my Captain's License and dove on oil wells. Running an OSV (oil supply vessel) I quickly learned a working knowledge of the offshore oil industry.
In 1985, I bought a tiny house on the beach in Oceanside,Ca. for 71,500 USD. Sold the house in 2004 for 355,000 USD. We then moved to Houston,Texas where I bought an 7.3 acre ranch style home for 185,000 USD. Home and business (Houston County Welding) are together ,so there is no commuting.
Today, Iam semi-retired and swim in my pool and invest in model airplanes and engines,tether cars, silver,gold pocket watches, and old antique Victrolas and antique furniture.
Also a passion of mine is old Hot Rod cars. I guess I havent fully grown up yet.
My kids,Michelle,Troy,Shane,Karen,Tonya and Rick are all grown and married some with kids of their own. My wife of 30 years (Linda) and I enjoy our Texas home together,although it is really quiet at times.
If you have something I might be interested in, please give me an Email ( MichaelDaniels86@msn.com), Thank you, and have a great time, Mikey Daniels Houston County Welding Company
