Born and raised in San Diego Ca, worked as a motorcycle officer for the California Highway Patrol for 30 yrs. Retired in 2010. Relocated to Port Charlotte in 2020 and live here full time. Married my wife Sandy in Jan 2023. I was a member of the San Diego Nice Guys charity organization for 13 years and served on the board for 7 years and ran the membership for 3 years. The Nice Guys is an all volunteer organization with 160 members that distributes approximately $1.5 million annually, at least pre Covid, to needy families and military personal in San Diego County. 100% of the donations received go to the families in need. I was a member of the San Diego Parrot Head club for 5 years and joined CHPHC in 2020 when I moved here. The reason why I love the CHPHC is because of the values of this organization and the giving back to the community which mimic the Charitable Organizations which I have been a part of in the past.
