I first moved to Napa with my family as a teenager in 1979 and gew up here, attending Napa High School.
My first career was in heavy industry, where I worked as a weldor and heavy equipment operator in the fields of marine construction and heavy fabrication.
My high-tech career started here in Napa in 1997, where I worked as a customer service (tech support) representative for a web hosting and domain registration company. By 1999 I had moved to the Silicon Valley in order to take best advantage of the dot com boom. I lived in Campbell for most of the 15 years I spent in the South Bay.
Three economic bubbles later I figured it was time to come back home, and I am so glad I did. I joined the Napa Methodist Church of Napa in 2012, where I have been renewing old friendships and forging new ones ever since.
