A little about us:

Trish is a New Jersey "native", born and breed in Jersey City. A graduate of Immaculate Conception High School in Lodi, NJ; Trish holds a certification as an Executive Assistant; AND she is a licensed hair stylist. She has been Office Manager for our home-based company, Lifestyle-Dynamics; LLC; and was an Administrative Assistant at Lifechurch in Allentown, PA.

What about Ron?

I'm a native of Southern California; but I grew up in Hawaii. After graduating from LeiLehua High School, I moved to Michigan (go figure - must have been the beautiful, tropical climate). Then, after 17 years, I transferred to Utah (God's Country). 2 years later, I transferred yet again to New Jersey (God's Forsaken Country <grin>). Nearly 15 years later, I'm still in the NJ area (ok, I now live in PA, but close enough).

My background:

• 30-years in telecommunications sales and management roles with Avaya Inc (currently); Lucent Technologies; and AT&T (the ORIGINAL AT&T, not the SBC branded company)
• Division Leader with Primerica Financial Services
• President of the Holly-Tamarack Homeowners Association
• Ex-President and Owner of Telephone Training Center (my own company)
• Ex-Vice-President and COO of Lifestyle-Dynamics, LLC for 5 years.
• Member of the Board of Directors for His Word to the Nations Ministries

Other things about us:

• Trish and I were married in 2004
• We're both born-again Christians
• We have 4 adult children ranging in age from 31 to 26; and a grandson:
  • Ryan is our oldest. He lives in Garden City, KS; and is married to a wonderful young lady, Jen, who is with the Sherriff's Department. Ryan is also an ex-Law Enforcement officer; but now works for a smaller company doing his favorite thing - electronics, and may have "slightly more" PC technical know-how than I do (yeah, right).
  • Tom Jr. is next. He is following in his fathers' footsteps (and a family history of police) and is a State Trooper with the NJ State Police.
  • "Vinnie" is the next youngest. He's co-owner at an auto repair shop in NJ.
  • Our youngest, Laurie, was a student at Cal State University, working on her Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. She's currently back home with Trish and I, and works at ADP as an inside sales person.
• We have an adorable 6 year old grandson, Nathan, who is a ball of energy. He is nearly as tall as Trish. Think he's going to be big???
• We are actively involved in our Church.
  • Trish was involved with "Signing" (sign language during our praise and worship services) at our old church.
  • I head up our Financial Leadership Ministry Team, helping families get out of debt and develop a roadmap to financial independence.
•  And for fun, we love to travel; water sports (boating, jet ski's); and we're both computer junkies. What can I say - a match made in heaven.
