I broke my nose playing Little League Baseball. Still very crooked, too scared to re-break it. Just ask, I love to show it off.
I rode my bicycle across the United States from Portland, Oregon to Boston Massachusetts. It was the single most challenging experience in my life.
I’ve visited 47 states so far. Missing Maine, New Hampshire and Alaska.
I’m still married to one of my clients for 19 years, now THAT’s full service.
Started the first Mac Club at SJSU in 1986.
I like all types of music. Rock. Punk, Country and Western. Reggae. Classical, Hip Hop. A few I really like; Radiohead. The Dead. Quest. Sabbath, Etc.
I play an awful guitar and can’t sing a lick, yet I love to do both.
I’m an A’s fan, I like the Giants, a member of the Raider Nation, I believe in the Warriors.
I’m a motorcyclist enthusiast. I’ve owned many. I’ll probably own many more.
I’ve finished four mini triathlons in my life, I’d like to do another.
I’ve been Mountain Biker most of my life. I’ve also crashed so severely that my shoulder was in a harness for 5 months. I still ride, in a more appropriate fashion though. Safety third.
I was once knocked out by a frozen turkey at the grocery store I worked at. No known damage.
My family housed a foreign exchange student from Brazil when I was 6. He’s 60+ now. He visited at my house (again) this year for about the 5th time. My brother from another mother I guess.
My favorite book is “The 15 Lives of Harry August” by Claire North.
I’m an amatuer screen printer— posters mostly.
I’ve written a children’s book “Everybody Jumped” about being in this thing called life together. Next step, getting it published and saving humankind.
My favorite painting is Georges Rochegrosse “The Knight of the Flowers”. It lives at the Museum D’orsay in Paris. I’ve been lucky enough to see it a few times. Each time, I am completely confused how a single human being could possibly make something so incredible.
Pelé signed an autographed leather soccer ball and gave it to me. I played with it in the street until it was scuffed and torn. I like to think he’d like that we played with it as opposed to admire it on a shelf.
I’ve owned 3 houses, all fixer uppers. Ugh. No more. I’m staying put in this last one.
I am a 5th generation Californian and I don’t like avocado, or fish or mayonnaise.
My parents were nextdoor neighbors in Berkeley when they were kids and they are still married today. It was fun to visit my grandparents that way.
Recently, I drove the entire Route 66 “Old Road” with my Dad. There is so much wonder and life on that road. And really cool, old signs.
Seeing anything live amazes me. Concerts, speakers, plays, magicians, demonstrations...the bravery.
I only have one cavity. Filled by family dentist, Dr. Ochikubo (AKA Dr Ouch!).
I bite my nails and I’m a horrible human for doing so.
I’m one of 3 brothers, 4 years apart top to bottom. I’m the baby. My brothers are two of my best friends.
