My Story

I was married to my first wife at 17. Starting a family so young, I needed to begin working fulltime, pronto! My wife’s uncle got me in at a small print shop doing shipping and I started learning different equipment. I ended up becoming a printer for the rest of my working days and retired in 2011. I did take Print Shop at Franklin, but never thought it would be my career. I would still be working, but I came down with a staph infection that almost did me in. Thank God for a good doctor at Kaiser, I came out of it.

I remarried in 1984. My wife's name is Tina. June 2013 will be our 29th anniversary. We have 5 boys, my 3 (Paul, Ryan and Vince) and Tina’s 2 (Ben and James), 8 grandchildren and 1 great-grandson.

Tina and I moved to St. Helena, Oregon in 2003 to be close to our son and grandkids. We have more in Northern Calif., but Oregon is so beautiful.
