Married Linda Conner in 1967, graduated from CSULA, and then served in the Army, stationed in Berlin, Germany. Our daughter was born while stationed there. After the Army, I worked in the workers’ compensation insurance industry almost 40 years, in underwriting, marketing and management. Linda & I retired by 2014 and moved to our home in Hesperia, CA where I enjoyed gardening & “farming”, building things, and conservation activities. About six years later we moved to a mountain community near Tehachapi, CA and love the fresh air and wildlife.
