About Me

"I have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.” ~ Mark TwainIf someone see's me in public and thinks I look familiar, the conversation usually goes like this: Hey- don't I know you from somewhere? Cal Skate? Did you DJ my wedding? Did you DJ at Crazy Horse or The Bear?I'm a local guy- I love Chico. I really enjoy my work (and work hard), but I enjoy a good diversion from time to time. I really dig the fact that we have all the great things that California has to offer, but with a slower pace of life. To those of you who know me, here's an update: I'm working as the Assistant Administrator for Butte Home Health in Chico. I also do freelance business plans and consulting. I've been married for 10 years and have a beautiful daughter who is 9. Life is good.A side note: if you're looking at my profile because I look familiar, it's for one of two reasons (that I will probably never live down): Cal Skate, or I DJ'ed your wedding, prom, or other party. In the 80's I worked as a DJ at Cal Skate (it's amazing how many people remember me from that), and in the late 80's through 1999 I owned a DJ business in Chico. I did hundreds of weddings, school dances, Wed at Crazy Horse, Thurs at the Bear. Now I live a quieter life (in some ways). I still love to party, but the DJ days are over (unless the price is really, really good- lol).If you're looking at my profile, be sure to drop a note and say "hi."
