This encompassed coordinating and managing high-level network design, conducting field assessments, evaluating the feasibility of utilizing existing structures, securing long lead time permits for special crossings, performing detailed low-level engineering design, and developing construction and permit packages for multiple jurisdictions. Additionally, I managed the entire spectrum of job tracking and data collection activities.

My daily duties were split between managing all operational aspects of the business and the instruction of the student body.

In 2008/09 the decline in the economy and the resulting tentativeness of people to spend on recreational activities made itself apparent and directly affected the continued viability of the commercial business.

Hobbies and Interests

Private Pilot

I am currently pursuing a private pilot's license. I have wanted to fly and have had an interest in aviation for as long as I can remember. My goal is to eventually own an aircraft for my personal use.

Martial Arts

As a student of the martial arts for more than 45+ years it is hard to separate myself from it. It is such an ingrained part of me that I cannot imagine life without it. I personally train twice a week and teach one day a week. I participate in seminars and advanced training sessions with my peers as often as I can.

Long Range Marksmanship

I have been a shooter since a young age, having been taught by my father who was an exceptional marksman. There was a point in my military career in which I was recognized as a very proficient long-range shooter. In turn I was selected to attend the Army Long Range Marksmanship Course where I qualified as a Sniper. I furthered that professional skill set as a law enforcement officer assigned to an emergency response team. Since leaving the service and law enforcement I regularly practice the skill set as a hobby and regularly participate in NRA sanctioned rifle matches.

Amateur Astronomy

My wife and I are amateur astronomers. We are members of the Sacramento Astronomy Club and actively participate in regularly held group gatherings. We became interested in astronomy when we took classes together at American River College. Our interest led us to purchase a 10” telescope to pursue our hobby. Our specific areas of interest are inter-solar system objects, specifically the planets, their moons and long duration objects and the activity of our sun.
