| Cool Stuff I've Done in the Last
25 Years |
After salvaging my academic career at
Cuesta, I went down to USC, joined a fraternity (that was
an experience for a surfer kid from Avila), met my future
wife, and graduated with a degree in business. I found my
way back to the central coast by joining the Den-Mat
company, where I worked on the Rembrandt Whitening
Toothpaste business. I recently joined the Spice Hunter
company in San Luis, where I am brand manager for our
line of packaged food. I live in
Arroyo Grande with my wife, Stephanie, (she is an R.N. at
French Hospital) and two kids--7-year-old Piper, and
2-year-old Charlie. On the active side, surfing
eventually led to ocean swimming, which led to triathlons
and mountain bike racing. Lately it’s been swimming
to stay in some kind of shape (I see Ed Somogyi at the
pool nearly everyday). In 1995, I put together a
volunteer race committee that organizes an open ocean
swimming race at Avila each summer. All of our proceeds
support low-income youth swimming lessons in SLO County.
It is gratifying way to give something back to the
community, and a sport I love.
