I am a Chemical Engineer (1953 graduate of Purdue University) and a Registered Professional Engineer in California and Illinois. Before retiring in December 1993, I worked for Bechtel Corporation (20 years) in San Francisco. If you are interested in my resume click here.
My wife Rita and I live aboard a 50-foot Ocean Alexander (Mark 1 Pilot House) motor yacht in Stockton, California. The yacht is named RIALTO, an acronym for RIta and AL TOgether. We moved aboard in 1981, and have lived aboard ever since! Before our recent move to Village West Marina in Stockton, we were moored in Sausalito just across the Golden Gate bridge from San Francisco.
We have seven children and ten grandchildren.
As you might expect, our major hobby is boating, and we spend a lot of time cruising the waters of the San Francisco Bay Area. We have also cruised the Pacific coastal area extensively, with many trips to southern California and Mexico. We especially like cruising in the California Delta, (click for Delta info) and have been members of the U.S. Power Squadron for 28 years. I created and am the webmaster for my wife's cake decorating website, which you can view by clicking here. When our pet cat Sharky died recently, after living on our yacht with us for 19 years, I established Sharky's Memorial website to honor him. And, if you're interested in losing weight, then visit my RIALTO Weight Loss Program website where you can learn the technique that Rita and I used to successfully remove excess weight.
Since retiring, I've appeared in court as an expert witness and have been asked to consult on other topics in various areas of my expertise. I established RIALTO ENTERPRISES to provide these consulting services. But, most of our time is spent traveling and visiting people and places we always wanted to see. Rita is a photographer, and has recorded our trips in many albums of spectacular photos. She teaches cake decorating (click here for her website) and is a Wilton Method Instructor. We frequently visit Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to enjoy our club membership and accommodations at Paradise Village. Best of all, we like cruising with our friends and the pleasure of being on the water.
