've finally married. Sadhia and I were married on August 10, 2002 at the Rainier Club in Seattle, WA, USA.
I have been very active in Seattle Kiwanis Club and the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce. I also served on the Board of Directors for First Place School, an agency that provides hope, home and education to the homeless. In addition, I was Commandant for the Seattle Seafair Commodores and have been a Seafair volunteer since 1980.
We have a great home in Mukilteo, with a view of the sound and Mt. Baker. Our two Alaskan Malamutes, Bear and Talla enjoy walks along the shore at Everett Marina.
I enjoy bike riding, softball, dining out, movies, Mariners games, Seahawks games, (season ticket holders for 17 years), Silvertip hockey games, (season ticket holders for 10 years), traveling and computers/electronics.
