About Me

We were raised in Alhambra, California and attended grammar school and high school together. Larry went to California Polytechnic College in Pomona, and Lorna attended California State College at Los Angeles. We have been married for over forty years and have one daughter, Kimberly. Larry is an engineer and spent many years working on various projects throughout the United States and around the world. Lorna worked in Document Control and is now an ITIL certified IT professional where she has done a great deal of technical writing. We both worked in Japan on the Universal Studios theme park. Larry was a Project Engineer, responsible for the Jurassic Park, JAWS and WaterWorld attractions. Lorna continued to put her documentation skills to use working in the Osaka field office.Our memoir of that experience, 31 Months in Japan: The Building of a Theme Park was a 2006 EPPIE finalist and was named one of Rebeccas Reads best nonfiction for 2005.
