After EB, I attended Claremont McKenna College. My wife, Cece and I, have been married for 36 years. We have two daughters and two sons who are all college grads, live in CA, healthy and gainfully employed. Our first grandchild is due January 2012.

Over the last 20 years, I have worked in fraud and criminal defense investigations.
