Hello. I have been asked to create a webpage in the school's attempts to brand itself. I have no interest, nor need, for brands.

I will turn 50 years old next May. I do not own a cell phone. When people ask me how I make it through life without a cell phone, I generally ask them how they manage to get through life with one.

In my life away from campus, I grow food on our 1/2 acre of ever-improving soil in Citrus Heights. We currently raise pigs, chickens, and ducks. They're delicious. So are the pomegranates, persimmons, figs, cherries, apricots that we grow. The tomatoes and sweet potatoes are pretty tasty too. My work in this area of my life led me to create the Food Farm & Garden Club at our school We get our hands dirty. Feel free to inquire about joining this club. 

I also hike and fish with my friend. His name is Ron. 

My Course Syllabus is posted. Students are provided a print copy of this Course Syllabus on the first full day of class. Please read for more specifics on the course.

The attached photograph is one of my family. I am the one with the beard. My wife is the beautiful woman with the glasses. The boy's name is Judson. He is 8. The girl's name is Acie. She is 6. They all mean a great deal to me. The snowman is no relation. He died in an unseasonable heat wave in Montana shortly after his creation over Thanksgiving Break in 2017.
