entrepreneur in late 1999 but timing wasn't good as the on-line services market tanked in 2001 taking my efforts down with it - the idea was a decade ahead of reality. National Optometric Director for Anthem/WellPoint Vision - a national vision benefits company within Anthem which owns BlueCross BlueShield companies in 14 states. With Davis Vision two years, retiring for good in 2014. Served as the Chairman, Commission for Quality Assessment and Improvement for the American Optometric Association for a dozen years. Married to Jeanne, an OR nurse with her PhD. Four children, four step-children, and ten grandchildren. Enjoying good health, international traveling, genealogy research, snow shoeing, walking and fly-fishing the rivers and streams of my home state of Colorado (sorry, Hawaii, you're a nice place to visit, but....). "Youth is wasted on the young." No regrets. See me on LinkedIn.com for TMI.
