About

Hometown
Torrance, California. The best part was living so close to the ocean, ditching high school to bodysurf, and omelettes or steel-cut oatmeal at the Surfboarder. The worst was the laziness and indifference of the local police, which carries on to this day..
Places I've been
High School Name (City, State)
South Torrance and Torrance High Schools. Why yes, there are also a North and West... The principal and football coach were alcoholics, the facade was used in the tv shows Buffy and Beverly Hills 90210 because it looked more like a California high school than the real BH did...
College Name
El Camino, a 2 year junior college CSU at Long Beach, where I met Charles Bukowski once and bought him a beer, the highlight of my academic career.
College Graduation Year
If the Vietnam War had not ended, it would have been 1974. I felt guilty anyway, dropped out, and moved to Santa Cruz, the land that time forgot.
College Graduation Major/Concentration
Psychology- until I had this epiphany that the reason my fellow students were attracted to psychology was that they needed more help than they were able to give...
Occupation(s)
Frycook, dishwasher, elementary school custodian, bus driver, newspaper delivery, Internet service provider, maintenance at the local yaht harbor. I'm currently retired but hope to find a part time job that helps others.
More about me
54 year old male, lived all my life in California until I moved to Colorado Springs this last summer. First time living in the snow and below freezing weather. I practiced tai chi and worked out in the gym for over 25 years. I enjoy reading, Kona coffee, Scapa single malt, and Indios Puros cigars.
