2003 -

My biography is pretty simple. I left Analy and went to Humboldt State and received a BS in wildlife biology in 1969 . ( I spent one of those semesters in Uppsala, Sweden).

I was married ( and still am) my senior year. I spent a year as Park Range in Big Sur in 1970 and then transferred to Fish and Game where I have been ever since. I have spent time in Long Beach, Bishop, Sacramento, Yountville, Redding, and now back to Sacramento. I have done everything from counting salmon to shooting elk out of a helicopter ( with a tranquilizer). I was biologist most of the time but was a deputy director for a while.

I am now the Regional manager for the 17 counties around Sacramento. It has been a great job, and I have really had a good time. I helped on the Cantara Railroad spill and tried to kill the Fish in Lake Davis once too. I have six kids so far. I do a lot of volunteer work for Boy Scouts and the LDS church. I enjoy fishing, hunting, backpacking, reading , gardening, and life in general.
