Patti and I and our two daughters moved to San Luis Obispo in 1987.
Before coming to Cal Poly. I worked as the director of parts and service for a large Chevrolet dealer and then an RV Center. After that I worked at a Big 8 accounting firm in Phoenix before returning to school to get a PhD. Although we chose Cal Poly for all the wrong reasons, it turned out to be a wonderful 30+ year experience and a fantastic place to raise our daughters.
About ten years ago, a colleague encouraged me to read. I began to read as a way to satisfy my curiosity and have been reading extensively ever since.
Our daughters are grown and married to wonderful young men. Cristie (41) lives in Arlington, VA just outside of Washington DC. Lindsay (38) lives in Costa Mesa.
