I am celebrating my 4th anniversary as a Mercedian
and State Farm agent. My office is at 1124 W. Olive
Ave, at the corner of R and Olive, just to the left
of Leslie Pools.
I am very active in Leadership Merced Alumni Association,
as well as serving on the Measure C committee, the Association
of University Women and a board member of University
Friends Circle.
Married to Mike Biddison for as long as I can remember,
he\'s a graduate of Class 25 and continues to run his
own business Analog Audio, where he repairs professional
audio equipment for musicians.
Our kids are grown, married and we have one perfect
grandchild, Nevada Margaret Biddison.
Hello
-
My name is Kyle Ford and I am proud graduate of Leadership
Merced Class 24. My family moved to Atwater when I was
14 years old from the Sacramento area. I graduated from
Atwater High School in 1992. I have graduated from Merced
College (twice) and I am currently enrolled at Western
Governors University and I expect to graduate with a
Bachelors of Science in Business Administration in December
2010. I have been happily married to Christine since
June 2004 and I have an awesome step-daughter, Samantha.
My employment career took a recent unexpected detour
when I was recently laid off. Though I know the transition
will be a challenge I am looking forward to starting
the next chapter of my life. When not spending time
with my family, working, or going to school I enjoy
playing poker, traveling, working on computers, playing
golf, watching movies and going to concerts. Finally
if you have a little free time, please save a life and
donate blood!
I am the Assistant City Clerk with the City of Merced.
My husband Rickey and I have five children. We enjoy
quad riding and water sports with our family.
I
am currently the Chief Operations Officer at the Greater
Merced Chamber of Commerce. I am the wife of Kitt Krumm,
and the mother of my two beautiful girls Baylee and
Brittney. We enjoy going camping, off roading and going
on vacations. I love to cook and do crafts with my girls.
You would say we are a very active family. I am currently
a project leader for three classes in 4H along with
the monthly mixers and other special events that I attend
with the Chamber. I have enjoyed the last year participating
in Leadership Merced and would recommend the class to
everyone!

My experience as an alumni of class
24 was unforgettable and I was able to learn more about
the community I live in. I also had an opportunity to
develop strong relationships with other classmates who
are also leaders in Merced. We met great people and
connect with other community members.
I am now married to the love of my life
Chris Loethen and have three wonderful children who
are now considered young adults. I work for the City
of Modesto as a Financial Analyst and love my job.
I
love the community I live in and do what I can to contribute
meaningfully.
