I was born in Santa Rosa. My parents were born in California, but my grandparents were born in Italy.
I was raised in Santa Rosa, until I left to go to Creighton University School of Dentistry, in Omaha, Nebraska. After graduation, I stayed there and worked as a dentist in Public Health for two years, then moved back to Santa Rosa to set up my dental practice. I have been married to my wife Jean, from Nebraska, for 53 years. We have two children, and four grandchildren. Now that I retired, I can spend more time cycling, skiing, and drive my ‘50 Porsches, watching my grandkids sports activities, and of course participating at NBICF events.
