I moved to San Juan Island in 1991 after spending 22 years owning and running an insurance agency in Carmel, California. The traffic and crowds finally drove me back to my roots here in Washington.  Having been born in Mount Vernon and spending many summers as a child in the San Juan Islands, moving here was like a homecoming.

Island life allows me time to pursue my hobbies which are playing golf, fishing, and gardening.  I am a charter member of the Rotary Club of the San Juan Islands and a past president.  This year I am once again president of our local real estate association.  My wife, Beth, teaches math at Friday Harbor High School and is an avid tennis player.
