Personal History
My home town is Eau Claire, WI. I knew from the time I was 10, I was going to go to college, study construction, and play football, then play for the Green Bay Packers. Well three out of four wasn’t too bad. I moved to California in 1985 and started my career in construction. In 1989 I got married to my wife Cynthia. We have three children, Gere (27) our first baby, Devin (25) our baby boy, and Riki Addison (19) our baby girl. We all enjoy the outdoors, hiking, biking, golfing, hunting, skiing, gardening, sports, and travel. The kids are all finding their paths, and are all really good people!
