I was born in France and immigrated to America at the age of 6. As a young boy, I would read books by the street light shining through my window after my Dad told us to go to sleep. Fortunate to have traveled to many countries, I speak several languages fluently, which has given me a broad perspective of the world. I am a proud U.S.C Alumni and live by the chant, Fight On! My wife and I have been married for over 47 years, and we have three daughters, eleven grandchildren and one great grandson. The Good Lord has truly blessed us.
