I was born in Los Angeles, California in 1928, and raised in the San Fernando Valley, attended San Fernando schools, graduated from San Fernando High School and from Glendale Community College with an AA degree in Architecture.  I also attended UCLA for one semester before entering the NAVY Pensacola Flight Academy.  I graduated from the academy as an officer and served a tour of duty in Hawaii attached to VW1, flying B-17's and Constellations.  I married Peggy Ebersole in 1952 and we raised four daughters who are all married and living on the West Coast.  We now have 9 grandchildren.  In 1955 I started a construction company and built homes, industrial buildings, medical buildings, bank buildings and parking structures.  All the time I was buying and selling property related to my construction business.  In 1990, I retired from the construction business and obtained my Real Estate License.  I went to work for ERA Rocking Horse Realty in the San Fernando area.  In 1996 we moved to Lake Almanor and I designed and built a home for ourselves in the Lake Almanor Country Club.  I entered the Real Estate business in the Lake Almanor area to keep myself busy in my so-called retirement.  I joined CENTURY 21 Lake Almanor Real Estate in 2001 and have been a full time agent specializing in lake properties.
