Robert Hernandez Information Technology IT Technician

First Job: worked in an agricultural warehouse for my dad.

Birthplace: Fresno, CA

Years at EOC: just over a year and a half
 

Best advice ever received: “Don’t forget to remember, and remember not to forget.”

Favorite advice I give: “Stay positive! Never hold a grudge!”

Favorite restaurant, dish, or pig-out food: Lunch: Packing Shed; Dinner: Red Robin or Chili’s.

Proudest moment: Hitting a walk-off homerun in the championship game, when I was 12, to win the tournament.

Greatest personal accomplishment: Graduating from Heald College a quarter early, while maintaining over a 3.5GPA and 95% attendance.

Best vacation I’ve taken/dream vacation: I spent 7 days in Peoria, AZ, playing in the 18U World Series. My team went 3-3 and took 6 th place (out of 16 teams). Besides the 116 degree heat, the experience was awesome! We got to play on the Spring Training facilities where the Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres practice and play.

Favorite weekend activity: Go out to dinner and a movie.

Last good movie I saw: The Dark Knight.

Scariest experience: I was about 14 years old. I was staying the night at my neighbor’s house, and we were up at 2:00 am playing basketball outside. All of a sudden an Unidentified Flying Object flew over our heads. It wasn’t an ordinary air plane; it was black and shaped triangular. What was weird was that it was flying really close to the ground, and it didn’t even make a sound. What was even weirder, it turned around and flew back over us. It did this about 5 times before finally taking off. Now, I don’t know if it was some kind of “alien spacecraft” or just a “government aircraft”, but it flying over us multiple times (at 2:00 am!) was pretty terrifying at the time ... true story.

If I had a million dollars I would … live a great life.

Favorite place to shop: Hmmm… Macy’s I guess.

Favorite childhood memory: Playing wiffle ball in the back yard.

Words that describe me best: Quiet, Laid Back, Friendly, Sarcastic, Awesome.

I like to watch: Sports, Movies.

In my spare time … play basketball, let my dogs run free.
