I moved to San Luis Obispo with my wife Anne Hoskins full-time in November 2022. We have four adult children. Previously we lived in Oakland and San Francisco and spent many years in Washington D.C. where I led several national non-profit organizations. My interests are travel, reading, hiking, swimming, keyboard, pickleball and tennis. I am a Docent for the Elephant Seals, volunteer weekly for the CAPSLO food program at 40 Prado, lead neighborhood walking tours for San Francisco City Guides and am working to establish a community development entity in Oceano. I work half-time as a community development and non-profit consultant.
