    Philosophies

    Set the example for others to follow, love your work, eat good quality chocolate, recycle, enjoy and take care of nature, do less talking and do more doing.

    Current Endeavors

    Outside of work...lots of Zydeco and Argentine tango dancing, daily mountain biking on the streets of Pasadena, working to prevent the construction of the proposed 710 Freeway Extension through El Sereno and South Pasadena (freeways suck!), and weekends hiking with the Sierra Club in beautiful locations around Southern California (yes, there is nature down here!). At work...prep for the the four-fold SCIGNetwork expansion (primarily on obtaining land use agreements for 200 new stations).
