After leaving Shoreline, I attended the UW. Although I had intended to continue with my music studies, my interest in foreign languages got the better of me and I graduated with a BA in Nordic languages 1966. During that time I was also lucky enough to spend the better part of 1964 bumming around Europe with, among others, Jim Livingstone (also class of ’61). We were also members of the same fraternity, Theta Delta Chi.
Upon graduation from the UW I enlisted in the Army. After basic training, I was assigned to the Army Intelligence School at Fort Holibird in Maryland and subsequently to the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California (German). The balance of my Army service was spent as a civilian oriented operative, mostly in Berlin. While there, I also undertook some graduate courses at the Berlin Frei University; mostly in political science and beginning French.
After an honorable discharge in 1969, I returned to Seattle. Finding no meaningful employment at home, I moved to California at the urging of an Army buddy since unemployment benefits were better there. I managed to undertake some graduate courses at Stanford University while seeking gainful employment. After a couple of dead end endeavors, I ended up in the food business; both distribution and manufacturing, where I have remained ever since. My work has allowed me to experience extensive worldwide travel and hundreds of fascinating personalities along the way. I semi-retired in 2007 but, due to sheer boredom, re-entered the workforce shortly thereafter with a small food export company, where I am today.
I met and married my soul mate of 34 years, Chere, in 1977. We have two adult children, Trevor and Briana; albeit no grandchildren at this juncture. We’ve lived in Danville, California for the better part of that time and also enjoy frequent junkets to our place at Lake Tahoe.
So much for my brief biography. Life is good, I remain relatively healthy and continue to look forward to the rewards every new day affords.

Thank you and good luck in all your endeavors."
