Met my wife (Kelly) Labor Day Weekend of 1991 when she was visiting her college friend in Los Gatos, CA.  She was from Southern California at the time.  We were married June 23, 1996 and our son Christian was born June 13, 1999.

We keep very busy with Christian's School (First Grade) activities, my business http://www.usea.com/, and the Viper Club.  Add the Acquisition of another business (Previously a PZT Speaker product line of Motorola's) early this year.  My plate overflows.  But I love every aspect of life.

After Graduation  from West Liberty, moved to  Erie, Pa.(worked as a process engineer for an electronics company) for a few years, then  back to Glen  Dale (Active in the Glen Dale Volunteer Fire Dept, and worked for Marx Toys) until 1973 when I moved to Chicago (to work for Plessey Electronic Materials) until 1976.   Job transfer to California in 1976 after a few years in Chicago continued with Plessey for six months then changed jobs several times providing materials and services to the Semiconductor industry.  Started working for myself in 1984.

The AC Cobra was my love in the early 60's and the current Viper has the same spirit. We acquired our first Viper in late 95 and continue to be active in the Viper Club of America, NorCal Region.
   http://norcal.viperclub.org/  and http://www.viperdays.com/ events on the West Coast.

We attend ALMS Sports Cars races.  Christian has been racing slot cars for the last year and will likely start racing ¼ midget racing in 2006.  We also go to the local Good Guys hotrod shows.

This is a snap shot of the last 40 years.
