I was born in a small town along Hwy 49 in Amador county. I grew up in a smaller town outside of Modesto. Moved to Sacramento when I was still a kid and aside from a brief stint in San Diego have lived in the area ever since. I was married to a wonderful woman in January of 1995 and we moved to San Diego for a couple years. We moved back to area and have been in Hangtown ever since. In 2001 our lives changed forever. We had a little girl, Marina Raeven, and she is the light that fills the dark places of my life. Now we have a son, and although the first year was a hard one, he's one now and walking and talking and getting into trouble and he's already got a great sense of humor. I've been a programmer for a marketing company in West Sacramento since 2000.
