I was born in Alpena, Michigan on 08/21/62. Moved to Newhall, CA when I was in kindergarten, then to Miami, FL when I was in 4th grade, then to Beavercreek, OH when I was in 7th grade, then to Festus, MO when I was in 9th grade then to Los Angeles, CA when I was 19 years old. My mom was a stay-at-home Mom and my Dad moved us around so that he could promote himself within the Cement Industry. I now reside in Thousand Oaks, CA with my wife, Carmen, our three girls, Sarah -17, Rebecca -15 and Jane -14 and our three dogs Trooper - 12, Dakota - 9 and Rocky -3.
I attended Washington University in St. Louis for my first 2 years of college and then finished my B.S. in Biochemistry at UCLA. I also attended Cal State LA to get my M.S. in Business Administration in which I completed all my course work, but much to the dismay of my parents, I did not complete my thesis. I have worked at UCLA's American Heart Research Laboratory since 1985, except for a brief period where I went back to Cal State LA followed by working one year at HCM, Inc. (a hospital software company).
I am interested in getting into better shape, watching less TV and getting paid for screenwriting. I hope to become a school board member, to start a business, to finish my novel, to start a charity, to take up golf again, and of course, to win the lottery.
