After trying to be a nurse for 18 years, I ended up with my first love - paper.  I've worked for the last 18 years for personal injury lawyers, doing a variety of medically related things and sort of overseeing the computer system.  I have a great husband and two grown sons who turned out fine.  I love movies, playing scrabble, and computer stuff.  Once in a while I read a book, but I'm pretty illiterate. I consider myself a very fortunate person.

I can see that you've all taken a much more mature, serious approach to the entries on this website than I originally did. So I'll try to conform. I've now been happily married to Kathy, who I met at PSU, for 34 years. We have two beautiful and accomplished daughters, ages 22 and 14. Career wise, I've worked for a number of well known corporations of some notoriety, including TYCO, Adelphia, Arthur Anderson, Worldcom, Ahold, and Enron. In addition to the many creative business practices I picked up along the way, I also earned an MBA a few years back. I still try to keep in touch with my former colleagues, but based on where many of them are living now, it's not all that easy. It's been much easier to keep in touch with my many acquaintances at the SEC. Presently I'm working on a new venture. As it turns out, Mary, my youngest, is quite an athlete. I've been very busy coaching her regionally-ranked, travel soccer team for the past eight years. This involvement in youth soccer has evolved into my new business, that as the exclusive distributor to the under-20 youth market for BALCO, a San Francisco based manufacturer of performance enhancing drugs and nutritional supplements for athletes. BALCO has a definite presence in the professional baseball and track markets, but the youth market is virtually unexploited. Having observed first hand the unquenchable desire many parents have to win at all costs, I believe that there is a big potential in getting these kids "on the juice". It should be a real breakthrough opportunity.
