After high school, I went to SJCC for 2 years, until I knew it all!  I was self employed most of my working years.  I worked as a machinist, in electronics, built hot rods and race cars for thirty years, then started a sign business.  In 2008, I retired (kind of) to build a new home near Chico, CA.  In 2010, we completed the house and my wife and I moved from Campbell to the country.  Ironic, in 1958 when I moved to Campbell, Campbell was the "country".  So I might have to move again in another 50 years. 

My wife, Michelle, and I have traveled the states, Hawaii, Europe, and winters in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.  Now we enjoy our little farm and spending time together. 

I never outgrew my passion for cars, remember the Model-A in high school?  I have been building cars my whole life and am very fortunate that Michelle has an interest in my hobby.  If I'm good, she even lets me drive her Corvette.  Our latest project is restoring a dragster that I raced back in the 60's and 70's.

Cancer survivor, pace-maker, a wonderful wife, 4 boys, 7 grandchildren, 3 dogs, 5 acres of walnuts, and a couple of hot rods. Life is good.  No...........Life is Great!!!!

See you in September!
