And a Bit of Personal Stuff…
I live in  Walnut Creek, California, with my wife and her mother, a daughter
home from college at various times, and a lazy beagle, Farfel.  
I have a daughter in Los Angeles, Jenn, pursuing an acting, screenwriting
and producing career, so I'm also involved in short film production from time
to time.  I enjoy fishing, spending time with family, playing with the family
dogs, creating delights in the kitchen ( I cook AND clean up!!), designing 
web pages for myself and organizations I serve, and just hanging out.  And 
I absolutely LOVE my work -- it's playtime for me, so you'll often find me
at the office, which is in Petaluma, CA, a wonderful place to be.
