hat was always my dream. I was a flight instructor and flew charter throughout the Western U.S. for many years.
My other passion was electronics and Ham Radio. I was first licensed as a Ham Radio operator in 1963. I worked in broadcasting for several years, owned a business "Valley Scientific" and finally went to work for Pacific Gas and Electric Co as a Telecommunications Engineer. I retired from PG&E in 2005.
I was fortunate to become a part time instructor of electronics and computer technology at Fresno City College in 1990, a position I would hold for fifteen years.
My other passion in life has been physical fitness. I started "aerobics" in 1972 when the term "aerobics" was first coined. We did high intensity, high impact "aerobics" and eventually evolved into step aerobics. I participated in many 10K runs over the years. At one time I was working to be a certified aerobics instructor. My physical activity basically came to a halt in 2000 when I developed severe knee problems. I subsequently had total knee replacements in both knees.
I am now retired and enjoy spending time with my wife and three year old grandson, Connor.".
