Life
After Vintage High School in Napa, attended university in Southern California, then returned to Europe to attend a business school in Paris.
In May 1998, married Beatrice Le Grom de Maret in the Lorraine region (north-eastern France). We presently have three children:
- 1st daughter Alice, born 27 August 2000.
- 2nd daughter Sibylle, born 27 May 2003, died 19 Jan 2006.
- 3rd daughter Perrine, born 27 October 2004.
School: Graduated from Whittier College in Political Science and Business Administration (1988), then earned a Graduate Degree in International Management from a top 3 French business school (1990).
Career: Worked for Nestlé, Seagate, Wokup!, then Axeda based in Lyon, France. This is where I am presently, living in a freshly renovated 19th century stone house near Vienne, just 20 miles south of Lyon!
Would love to hear from past classmates to meet and exchange impressions on what has happened since Redwood Junior High and Vintage High schools!
