I've always been in the Food business. Working for such companies as Kraft, Mission Foods and The National Restaurant Association where I worked with Herman Cain, a Presidential candidate in 2012.

I'll never forget a "B" basketball victory my Junior year when we played Sequoia, at Sequoia.
We had several starters out and Sequoia was in First Place.
I think Ken White was our coach and he decided we would put on a Full Game stall and see what happens.
I'm sure it's still a record. We won 15-13.
Rich Boris and I were the leading scorers with 9 points between us. After we won, we ran for the bus!

In 2010 I met a Widow named Linda Miller living in Laguna Beach and Key Biscayne. We really hit it off and in 2012, I retired, sold my home in Vegas and moved in with Linda. Six months on the Pacific and six months on the Atlantic. We both love to travel and have visited Vietnam, Patagonia, Provence, Dubai and just got back from five weeks in Africa. If you haven't been to Cape Town, be sure to put it on your Bucket list. Also thanks to Paul Guerin for introducing us to San Miguel de Allende. Also a Bucket list must. Sadly, Linda passed away on March 27, 2021 from Ovarian cancer. We shared eleven wonderful years together. After Lindas passing, I've moved to Lakewood, Colorado and am living at The Ridge Parkhurst to be closer to family.
