LIFE IN WINE COUNTRY
I am a native Californian. Born and raised in San Jose back when it was mostly an agricultural community and the only Tech Company around was IBM. We lived across the street from an old Italian Prune orchard. It was "the playground" for me and my two younger brothers.
I have been retired for about 5 years now. Living comfortably in Sonoma County close to wine country and the beautiful Pacific Ocean. My favorite pastime is sitting in my jacuzzi spa among the redwoods with a nice glass of wine. I also like gardening, wood carving, hiking and just relaxing at the beach.
My house is older (1967), and I spend a lot of time on repairs and improvements. Most of the work I do myself. I find it very satisfying to make repairs without having to hire someone at $75 an hour. Hopefully this little narrative has been helpful in learning more about who I am and where I come from.
