I have been in Northern California about 25 years, living the last 16 years in the Napa Valley. Got married at 36 to Claire, then had our son Alec at 42. I guess I started late. I look forward to participating in Alec's various activities as he grows and hope I can keep up. I am a fairly accomplished chef, and also enjoy wine, gardening, golf, hiking, mountain biking, skiing, working around the house and being outdoors in general. I spent 15 years traveling around the world extensively as part of my job, but now spend most of my work time with customers in the Silicon Valley and Southern California My current work role is Technical Sales of Process Equipment to Manufacturers of Solar Cells
