We have three children, seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren. My wife and I celebrated 59 years of marriage on September 2, 2014. I have enjoyed ham radio for 63 years since my sophomore year in high school in 1951, receiving my General Class license that year, and receiving my Advanced Class ticket the following year.

I retired May 15, 2010, after 26 years as President of William Jessup University, a Christian Liberal Arts University of around 1600 students here in Rocklin, California.
