Life

It has been a while since I updated. My youngest is currently doing his Junior year at Virginia Tech, #2 son is doing well as a banker here in San Jose, #1 son is in Colorado, my daughter is at the University of Arkansas Medical School and was just awarded the Association of Neurovascular Clinicians (ANVC) 2021 Year of the Nurse Award while also giving me two amazing granddaughters. My awe inspiring wife of 26 years is still a Sr. Director at Adobe and I have been QuantumScape Battery for almost 3 years. QuantumScape is going to change the world with a new solid state battery technology. We are hiring!

I never, ever thought I could have even a glimmer of a chance of defeating a World Champion at anything, much less a martial art, but here I am. Who'd a thunk it?
