Some of my fondest memories trace back to my childhood playing sports at Live Oak Park in Temple City, California – memories I cherish and love sharing with others. I have pages on this website devoted to Little League Baseball and Pop Warner Football.
I served in the U.S. Air Force and lived in beautiful places like Aspen, CO, and Honolulu, HI. Since 1985, I’ve called Orange County home. It’s where I’ve built my life, surrounded by loved ones and enjoying the sunny California lifestyle.
