Born in Bakersfield, raised in the agriculture towns of the San Joaquin Valley, schooled through public schools including Fresno State, my business of commercial real estate brought me to San Francisco in 1984. Birth of twin daughters in 1985 brought our family to Belvedere, our home since 1989. A friend once said, “When I drive home each day, I thank God I get to live here.” That’s how I feel about living in Marin.
