I was born and raised in Southern California. During that time I played many sports in the great out doors. But until I ventured to Boulder Colorado after I graduated from RHS in1970 I had never really experienced the true four seasons of the year.

I lived in Colorado for some 20 years where I fell in love with the great outdoors during all seasons. This instilled in me a love of the out doors and the organic natural state of our environment.

When I retired in 2010 I pursued my passion for charitable goodwill targeting a number of non-profits from which I could add value back to my community.
