I have a great wife (Deborah), five kids and presently 7 grandkids with another on the way. We have invested a lot into the kids over the years and used sports as a way to help each of the kids develop confidence.

shoulder injury would force retirement. Our oldest daughter Grace was an All American in volleyball and now coaches at Biola University in Los Angeles. She just gave us her first son (our 7th grandkid).

Our youngest daughter Jillian was our surprise, and she just completed her second year on a 4 year volleyball scholarship. She had choices but wanted to play for her older sister…. She is majoring in speech pathology.
We moved our businesses from Los Angeles to Dallas in 2010 and we love Texas… I have stayed in engineering since graduating from college and own water and wastewater utilities in the southeast US.
I love life and relationships are important to me. I really look forward to seeing everyone at the reunion in August.
