Program:
Jason Overleese introduced our two ‘Getting to Know You’ speakers, members Angela Marks and Harry Wagoner.
Angela was born in Post Falls, ID (good people come from Idaho!). Her father was a logger and mother is a nurse. She lived there till the age of 13, when the family moved to Colorado. They then moved to the Seattle area when she was in high School, attending Liberty High School. Angela then attended Bellevue College and UW Bothell, was involved in student government and bringing the American Marketing Association to campus, earning a degree in marketing. Angela put herself through school, working full time and finishing with NO DEBT! Angela worked various sales job (don’t go into copier sales!), moved to Spokane and back, then ended up as a realtor, a job she loves. She is raising her three kids, Lucy, Gavin and Henry and loves the Kirkland area. Well done Angela!
Harry was raised in Edmond, Oklahoma and was raised to WORK! He loved sports as a kid, playing baseball through college. Harry was involved in many activities including his work in the Catholic Church. This was recognized by St. Gregory’s University, where he was recruited due to his involvement in the Church. Harry helped start the Greek System at St. Gregory’s. He majored in Marketing, which led him to various sales jobs in the area. He met his wife Misozdi (sp) while visiting his grandparent in the hospital. Harry eventually took a job with Hartland, and was brought to the NW as a district manager. Fortunately for us, Harry landed in Kirkland! Welcome to our club!
