My grandparents came to Willits in 1900. My dad, myself and my five children were born in Willits. I graduated from Willits High School in 1954 and then attended Los Angeles Poly Tech for three years.

I’ve owned two businesses. I presently run a commercial cattle operation and own Quarter Horses.

I have been active in real estate since I received my license on February 7, 1973. I presently manage the Willits branch of Coldwell Banker Mendo Realty.
