Spent 4 years in the army listening to Russians on the radio.
Traveled another 4 years... sold the 1st waterbeds in Berlin... herded cows in northern Norway... worked on the set of Moses, The Lawgiver with Burt Lancaster... spent the Yom Kippur war in Israel...
Came back to San Diego, got a degree in Environmental Design at SDSU.
Spent a year studying indigenous housing in Africa.
Spent another 2 years traveling in the Pacific and Asia, mostly looking for surf.
Finally found a career doing computer-aided mechanical design, mostly gas turbines engines at Solar.
Eventually made enough money to move out of La Jolla.
Retired a few years ago, so now I play a lot - making sculpture out of animal detritus, bodysurfing, and motorcycling.
I've been to 80 countries, ridden half a million miles on motorcycles, surfed many of the world's great spots (unfortunately usually when small,) fallen in and out of love too many times, and I'm still having fun.
