Biography
I was born in the San Francisco Bay Area, but moved to Calaveras County as a child. I attended local schools and graduated from Bret Harte High School. Shortly after graduation, I joined the US Army and spent 4 years as a vehicle mechanic. I was stationed in Germany for three of those years. While living and working in Germany, I had the opportunity to travel and see much of Western Europe. Upon returning to the United States, I was able to use my GI Bill to go to college and earn the following degrees:
