I'll keep it as short as I can: - UCD 70-74 Fermentation Science (winemaking and grape growing) - Stanford Business School 1978-1980 (MBA) - Married college sweetheart 1981 - Divorced from college sweetheart 1986 - Ran Robert Mondavi production operations (wineries and vineyards and research) until 2005 - Married current spouse in 1991, have 2 boys now 15 and 17 (at Justin-Siena high-school in Napa) - Quit wine industry 2006 (after buy-out by evil corporation - tried one year with new guys but no cigar) - Back to school 2007-2009 - passed CFP (Certified Financial Planner) boards at end of 2009 - Now working/learning as Fin...Expand for more
