Grew up in Norwalk California attending Excelsior High School, graduating in 1979, entered Cerritos College receiving Associate Degree in Psychology, transferred to Cal State Long Beach earning Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Moved to San Diego 1999 and worked in the Death Industry at Greenwood Memorial Park for seven years. When job eliminated at the start of the "Great Recession," I reentered school attending San Diego City College, UC San Diego and San Diego State simultaneously as I rode out the tuff time. Picked up an Associate Degree in History, then moved back to the LA area beginning a Community Newspaper Journalism journey. Currently reside in Norwalk and make numerous pilgrimages to the San Diego and Tijuana Areas as often as time and resources allow. Have published over 75 articles for the Norwalk Patriot as well as the Talon Marks.
