I grew up here in Forestville, attending Forestville Elementary and El Molino High School. I moved back to town in 2003 with my family, and have enjoyed getting plugged back in to this great little community. My wife Eleanor and I are happy raising two fantastic and energetic children.

In my work life, I am a practicing attorney with an office in Santa Rosa. My practice focuses on business and real estate matters, in addition to estate planning. In my spare time, I enjoy volunteering my time to the FPA, cycling the local back roads, swimming, and the occasional chance of hooking a steelhead on the Russian River.

Having lived in Forestville for ten years, I continue to love its beauty and diversity — both in nature and in people. My goal is to help maintain and further the quality of life and sense of community that we share even in the midst of inevitable change.

Professionally, I am a psychotherapist and educator who has served on the board of directors of the Guild for Psychological Studies in S.F., The Redwood Men’s Center in Santa Rosa, and the FPA. I am a husband, father, and grandfather whose current passions include community service, singing, poetry, playing the piano, and exploring mythology.

I learned of the FPA by attending one of the early Town Hall Meetings and was impressed with the caliber of people I met there. It was such a good experience, I then volunteered to put up "pink signs" on phone poles to let folks know when a Town Hall meeting was coming up. From there I joined the Board and presently serve as the Chairperson of the Forestville Community Fund Committee. It is gratifying to be part of an organization that cares about community.

I am an artist/designer and find this area to be creatively stimulating by virtue of its diverse environmental and cultural elements. I love nature and its abundance and revel in canoeing our wonderful Russian River and exploring our fantastic coastline.

I am honored to be a part of the Forestville Planning Committee and the Forestville Community Fund. It gives me a chance to return some of the good that living in Forestville has given me.

I am committed to seeing our town grow without loosing the quiet, peaceful ambiance it has today.

After architecture schooling at Stanford ('64) and U.C. Berkeley ('67) and apprenticeship in San Francisco firms I chose the soul-nurturing environment of Sonoma County to start my own architecture practice.  I have designed community-serving buildings such as the Russian River Health Center and a number of organic land-sensitive homes throughout the County.  I completed the Sonoma States's Green Building Professional Certificate Program in 2005.

I feel passionate about living more sustainably on our precious Planet Earth. We created a National Wildlife Federation "Habitat Backyard", share a large vegetable garden with our neighbor, and now use a clothes line on sunny days. I feel very grateful that my values are shared by many in this gem of a community called Forestville which I have lived in these last thirty-two years.
