Personal:
I live in Irvine with my wife Candace and our two boys Cameron (12) and Brian (10). This past summer we stayed on the beach near Ensenada for a week and had a great time. I am still playing softball in Irvine on Monday nights and I coach the boys in Pony baseball. Cameron made the All Stars last year and plays on a travel team I help coach in baseball and is also playing travel basketball. Brian is about to return to riding horses at which he is quite good it turns out. Looking forward to more extensive travel this next year and to getting out a few publications.
