Hobbies: Love watching NASCAR.  I’m taking up golf.  I did it in high school gave it up for 35 + years.  Now I’m taking some lessons and buying clubs that actually fit me. Go to the gym.  When we can, we travel around.  Still lots to see in Northern California 

After leaving St Patrick's, I went to Notre Dame High School. After Notre Dame I did 3 years in the Army in Germany as a crew chief at a battalion operations center that controlled 4 line batteries of Nike Hercules missiles.  I got out in ‘69 and had a series of different jobs until I started playing with computers in ’85. By 1987 I was doing small jobs as a contractor.  In ’94 I hired in at Syncor International and my career as a nerd was in full swing.  Now 21 years later I know one irrefutable fact, I’ve been a closet nerd all those years.  While at Syncor I rose through the ranks to become an IT manager.  In 2003 Syncor was acquired by a large conglomerate, Cardinal Health and in 2004 they move the Woodland Hills-based company to Chicago.  I was offered a job there, but I was a single parent raising my son and I didn’t want to relocate.

Here I need to click the back button three times.

In 2001 I reconnected with my high school sweetheart, Georgia.  She was living in Auburn CA and I was living in Canoga Park raising my son Jared as a single parent.  We started a long distance relationship that ended in June of ’05 when I finally married my high school sweetheart after 35 years.  We now live in Auburn.  I really love the rural lifestyle.  I work at a small hospital in Marysville doing IT stuff (what else) except I’m not managing.  I’m doing desktop support and network stuff.  What that means is I’m not behind a desk all day.  I’m out helping the users and getting to meet new people and its very physical (that helps slow down the aging process) and I love it.
