Kentfield/Greenbrae- A E Kent Middle School

After Redwood, I took some summer classes at Cal, went to COM for 5 semesters, did another 5 semesters at Cal State Chico for a BA, then another year for MA. Physical sciences and bus admn. A good number of my friends today are from my college days. :)

Next was a career in construction for 40 years. Mostly houses, and real estate development. Built a couple ski lakes and still live on one.

The highlight of my life, ... my kids and family. They are sooooo much fun.

I have two amazing kids, Britt and Carl. They are on the top rung of the ladder in sports, academics, and being good human beings. The two pics are then and now. They have always been my best friends and still are, along with my wife Alisa.

My Work now a days is mostly doing home loans with an emphasis on the Reverse Mortgage. I'm kind of retired, but still have to work for about 10 years past when I am dead. I'm a millionaire!!!,... but just don't have the money part.

I get most of my exercise looking for my car in the parking lot!!! (ADD still in full force) Still love to ski, back pack, and go on sailing adventures with my family or friends.

A current passion, or concern is all the problems facing the earth due to the infestation of humans. If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem!!!

Diamond lane stickers should be for those who DON'T cause the problems.

Once upon a time there was a kid with severe ADD. Back then we didn't have a name for it, or any of the multitude of other currently identified learning disabilities. They all lumped into a couple simple words: Stupid, slow learner, and maybe one more.

Eventually he found something interesting enough to keep his attention and made it through college, raised a family and loves life.

That's the story.
