Today's Featured Biography

I have been putting off writing the bio thinking that I will just do it tomorrow but now realize that I am starting to run out of them. It would probably be a lot more fun to write and read after a couple of glasses of merlot but not such a good idea at work.

I had the chance to go to USC for college and really enjoyed it. Funny how many of us went to schools that we would not have a prayer getting into now. Half way through my first interview I came to the realization that I didn't want to start working a real job yet so immediately applied to grad school. After the MBA spent the two longest years of my life at a Big Eight accounting firm and then moved on to a sales position with Procter and Gamble. Lucky switch since I met my wife of the last 24 years there and also got a short two year stint in the Bay Area before getting transferred back to Orange County. For the last 20 years I have been with an advertising specialty company.

We have a 19 year old son who goes to the University of Arizona and is on the their volleyball team. We also have a 16 year daughter who is at the fantastic stage of life where her parents are clueless. If any of you have shared this experience please let me know when the aliens who have abducted her will be returning a slightly more mature version.

I had the opportunity a few years ago to guide my kids through a tour of the old neighborhoods and schools of Piedmont. Hopefully my stories enabled them to understand how lucky we were to be raised in such a wonderful community.
