I live in Carlsbad with my wife of twenty-four years Anna; our daughter Summer is currently studying finance at Pepperdine. Family is very important to me, and I’m very grateful for the many wonderful years we’ve had and hopefully many more to come.

I love the ocean (you may have noticed) and all things involving water – namely open water swimming, surfing, and scuba diving. I have a PADI advanced open water scuba certification and am working on my rescue diver certification. I enjoy diving around La Paz, in South Baja (BCS) Mexico especially with the local manta rays and baby sea lions and manta rays. I’m trying to improve my Spanish with an eye towards spending more time in La Paz.

I love North County San Diego and try to take advantage of everything the area has to offer -- cycling (road and gravel) and the great local beaches and scenery. We’ve lived all over Northern and Southern California and are very happy to call Carlsbad home.
