Conrad Bassett

OK...here you go...graduated in three years from Brigham Young University in Provo, UT (saved my mom some tuition money); played on the Varsity Soccer team; was an editor on their student newspaper and froze my butt off in the winter.

In 1973-1974 attended the University of California, Berkeley in the teaching credential program while student teaching and coaching at El Cerrito High School.

I still have those good for life teaching credentials in case the real estate market ever tanks.

In 1974, moved to YuBASSETTy, CA and taught middle school in Marysville and coached football and basketball at Lindhurst High School. In 1977 moved back to the bay area and bought a house in Piedmont (Carlson, Angel, and Street were roommates at one time or another over there) and taught middle school for another year in Dublin, CA. Then came Proposition 13 and everyone got laid off so I changed careers and became a real estate broker (having taken all of those classes at local JCs and passed the test along the way.)

Worked for Coldwell Banker in Montclair from 1978-1982 then went to work for a year at Transamerica Relocation followed by eight years at Western Relocation where I was VP of National Real Estate Operations. Eventually (1990) I relocated to Wilton, CT until 1997 when I re-relocated back to the East Bay with AmeriCorp Relocation as VP of Client Services--this time we moved to Moraga (not far from Woo and Carlson and Huddleson and Kurkjian.)

While in Piedmont served on the Piedmont Recreation Commission from 1983 through 1989--did my civic duty.

Sold the Moraga house earlier this year but still work in Moraga, where since 2003, have had my own company, Outsource Relocation Partners which is a real estate company that works with relocating families in the East Bay and I also consult to other companies who need relocation help.

I moved back to Piedmont in January...a few blocks from where I grew up on Trestle Glen so it is fascinating to walk the streets I did 50 years ago!

On the side, I have officiated high school football for 29 years--been fortunate to officiate two state championship games in Connecticut and several North Coast Section championship games in this area. I spend more time on the PHS football field now than I did in four seasons while in high school. I only "ref" a couple of Piedmont games each year but typically officiate close to 50 games a year. This helps keep me at my almost high school size though one or two stray grey hairs have snuck in along the way. Enjoyed the opportunity to referee games where Dean Miller and Reg Street's sons competed.

I also have written often for newspapers on real estate--currently writing sports and real estate articles for the Lamorinda Weekly newspaper.

I have two sons. Conrad, who is 20, is a senior at UC San Diego and is one of the Top 15 Scrabble players in the world--playing competitively and recently finished 7th in the national Division 1 championships. He was also a Face in the Crowd in Sports Illustrated in 2008.

Christopher, who started on the Campolindo HS basketball team, is 18 and is a sophomore at DVC and just started an internship with the Oakland Raiders.

Other things along the way...married twice...someday will figure that out...held golf and poker tournaments that many PHS alumni played in; traveled so far to 45 states and to Europe, Egypt, and Tahiti.

I also used to "appear" often on the Ronn Owens Show on KGO as an "expert" on the Rock Trivia segment of his show. I should have actually been paying attention in class rather than remembering who sang what and in what year!!!

If you have more questions...shoot me an email!
