Hi,
I grew up in Oceanside, CA and attended college in Oregon. After college, I joined the Navy and went to Pensacola, FL to start flight training. Following the training, I was assigned to Patrol Squadron 26 home based at the Naval Air Station in Brunswick, Maine. While there, I made five six-month deployments to Iceland, all over the Mediterranean, North Atlantic and Caribbean. We were flying the Lockheed P-3B Orion and it was a blast.
After leaving the active-duty Navy, I flew Boeing 727's for Continental Airlines based in Los Angeles. At the same time, I joined a Naval Reserve P-3 squadron based in Pt. Mugu, CA and continued my Naval career as a Reservist.
Simultaneously, I studied for and received my California real estate license since I had always found the transaction process very interesting, and still do.
I'm happily married to my terrific wife Barbara. Between us, we have four children that all adults now and four young grandchildren that keep life fun. We live in Ocean Beach and when I have some free time, I'm either learning Spanish or playing golf.
Thanks for reading this.
