My wife and I moved to Rancho Bernardo in 1994. Along with our two children we have spent a lot of time enjoying the great facilities of our club over the years. As a past board member and current member of the Architectural Committee my focus is on maintaining the clubs facilities and keeping our community the great place it is to live.

Our family moved into the The Trails at Rancho Bernardo in2001, and have enjoyed the RBSTC since then. I am a very proud husband, father of four daughters, and now grandfather of two grandchildren. My career began in Physics where I had the opportunity to work on my Ph.D. at the European particle accelerator (CERN), held various positions in the international semiconductor industry, and started my own company (pocketBERT Inc.) in 2007, designing and manufacturing high-speed test equipment. I now enjoy swimming, biking, starting new projects, and most of all, sharing my passion for woodworking with younger generations. As Vice President of the RBSTC Woodcrafters Club, I have been able to lead several philanthropic projects, youth camps, and fulfill my drive to contribute to our community.

We were originally from Pennsylvania but relocated to California over twenty-seven years ago. We have lived in San Diego the last 12 years and Rancho Bernardo for the last two years. I am I am currently retired. I have taken advantage of this time investing in my grandkids, family, serving in our local church, mentoring young men, being a Big Brother of San Diego, and various other charitable causes. During my working career, I was a finance professional for several major technology corporations, including IBM, Unisys, Applied Materials, American Mold Guard, and Cymer. I was CFO of two of these public corporations, American Mold Guard and Cymer. I enjoy swimming, surfing, skiing, golf, fishing and most importantly being with my wife, daughters, son-in-laws and grandkids.

I am a two-time member of RBST - my family moved to Gatewood Hills when I was in elementary school, and my husband and I moved to the Greens area when we started our family. I feel incredibly lucky to live here, be a part of this wonderful community, and have the privilege of having a club that provides first-class amenities and recreational access. My professional background is in public relations, and I have worked for the City of Poway as their Community Outreach Coordinator for the past 9 years. When I'm not working or hanging out with my family, you will likely find me playing tennis. I love tennis and especially love the tennis community at our club. My husband and I are the proud parents of three young women who are now in college, but during their school years, I was very involved at almost every stage of their education. I was a room parent, foundation and PTA member, Girl Scout Leader, and more! The last few years have been less community focused and more about career, but the time is right and it would be an honor to serve in a leadership capacity at our club.

My wife, Kim, and I relocated from upstate NY to Rancho Bernardo just over 4 years ago. Our goals were to be closer to our 3 grown children who had previously relocated to California and to escape the cold and snowy winters of Rochester NY. When we arrived in Rancho Bernardo, we did not know anyone except a few friendly neighbors who made us feel welcome from day 1. While we were aware of the Swim and Tennis Club, we did not anticipate what a significant role it would play in our lives. I am at the club most days of the week playing pickleball and enjoying the 21 Club pool area. My wife also plays 2-3 times per week. While playing pickleball has improved our fitness, the far greater benefit has been making numerous new friends. The club has become our home away from home. My goal as a board member would be to ensure that the current level of maintenance and improvements would be maintained and to do my best to see that other members have the same great experience that we have enjoyed at the club.
