Dennis Eynon BOD Member-at-Large Dennis and Carolyn were friends in high school in their mutual choir. Dennis sang and won the Michigan State vocal high school competition held at Interlochen after which he went to Italy to study opera. After six months in Italy, he returned to Detroit and earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in theatre and business. He then joined the army. During his two and a half years at Fort Knox, Dennis was assigned to manage, direct, organize, and perform for Special Services. Sergeant Eynon sang with jazz bands, directed golf tournaments, recruited singers and instrumentalists, held formal dinner parties with entertainment, put on fashion shows, and formed an award winning army glee club. Dennis has sung in college, on television, in regional music theatre, for weddings and churches, at Detroit Red Wings hockey games, and other musical events in Detroit. After leaving the army, he returned to Michigan and again met Carolyn in the choir room of their high school, totally by coincidence. She was there for a job interview and he was there renewing his friendship with the choir director who had been his mentor. Dennis and Carolyn married in 1970, they married and moved to St. Louis, where he worked in business theatre and she taught high school choral music. His career changed directions when they returned to Detroit and Dennis became a custom home builder. In 1995, Dennis and Carolyn moved here with their three daughters, dogs, cats, and guinea pig, into a home Dennis built in Gainey Ranch. He retired and started his passion for race car driving around the southwest. He returned to retirement but still loves to build homes in Arizona. His other hobbies are traveling, singing, car shows, and supporting CES. Presently they live in north Scottsdale, have 2 married daughters, 1 actor daughter, and 2 grandchildren in Seattle.
