About Me	I grew up in Fresno, CA. Graduated from Roosevelt HS in 1964 and from Fresno State in 1974. I worked in AM-FM-TV Broadcast industry from 1964 to 1970. Kathy Fella and I were married in 1970 and have two children Jennifer and Laurie. I started flying airplanes in August 1964 at the Madera Airport. My first flight instructor was George Williamson. I completed my instruction and received my private pilots license later that year. Through the subsequent years I obtained my Flight Instructors Rating (instrument and multi-engine) and later a commercial license and then an Airline Transport Rating (ATP). Although I never flew for the airlines, that was always my dream. I was a flight instructor and flew charter throughout the Western U.S. for many years.

I worked in broadcasting for several years, AM, FM and TV; owned a business "Valley Scientific" and finally went to work for Pacific Gas and Electric Co as a Telecommunications Engineer. I retired from PG&E in 2006. I became a part time instructor of electronics and computer technology at Fresno City College in 1990. I was an instructor for Fresno City College until my retirement in 2006; eighteen years. My other passion in life has been physical fitness. I started "aerobics" in 1972 when the term "aerobics" was first coined. We did high intensity, high impact "aerobics" and eventually evolved into step aerobics. I participated in many 10K runs over the years. At one time I was working to be a certified aerobics instructor. My physical activity basically came to a halt in 2004 when I developed severe knee problems. I subsequently had total knee replacements in both knees. I am scheduled for a hip replacement on April 1st 2014. I am now retired and enjoy spending time wit...(read more)
