After high school, I attended UNM and received my degree in electrical
engineering. I am currently living in White Rock, New Mexico, with my
beautiful wife DeeDee (Nunz) Bonner (also a graduate of LAHS class of
1977, but didn't
make the alumni list) of 26 years and my two daughters Elisa (22) and
Ashley (19).
I have been working at the Los Alamos National Laboratory for 28 years.
Mike Padilla (1978 LAHS graduate) and I are co-owners of Northern Tree
Service located here in Los Alamos. The second job keeps me outdoors,
keeps me in shape and out of the refrigerator
My wife Dee Dee is still as beautiful as she was in high school. I'm
a lucky guy. She graduated magna cum laude from the College of Santa
Fe with a B.B.A. She works for Home Instead Senior Care here in Los Alamos,
and works as a teacher at Christian Montessori Pre-School. She enjoys
tennis, watching old movies and cooking gourmet meals for her entire
family that still
resides close by in White Rock.
I still love the outdoors and the New Mexico terrain. During my free
time I enjoy cycling, swimming, hiking, hunting, rafting and competing
in triathlons. Although I love living in Los Alamos, I really enjoy traveling
with my family. We have visited 19 different countries together, and
we hope to visit New Zealand and Australia this coming summer. We spend
a lot of time together as a family, and I'm
very proud of both my daughters.
Elisa, my eldest daughter graduated
from Los Alamos High School in 2003 with 4 singles AAAA state tennis
titles, and continued to play tennis in college on the University of
New Mexico's Division
I women's tennis team. She will graduate in December 2007 with a Chemistry
degree and a Statistics degree. She hopes to attend dental school next
fall.
Ashley, my youngest, also graduated from Los Alamos High School in 2006
with 4 doubles AAAA state tennis titles. She is a sophomore at the University
of New Mexico and plans to double major in Kinesiology and Spanish. She
is going on her second year playing for the UNM Lobos Division 1 women's
Tennis Team.
