I’ve been
married for 36 years to Kristina, who retired
several years ago from a career as a hair stylist
and salon owner. Then, Kristina returned to college
and earned a MA degree in Asian Studies with an
emphasis on China from Cal State Long Beach.
I enjoy playing tennis, hiking, bicycling, swimming,
and finding distant cousins to enlarge my genealogy
file. You can often find me in Whittier restaurants
eating and talking, actually, more talking than
eating.
In addition to being married for a long time, I have
been teaching political science for a long time--32
years at Rio Hondo College and 2 years at Whittier
College. I am now retired and teaching part time.
Community involvement beckoned me long ago also. I
served for 11 years as an elected member of the
Whittier City School Board, and 6 years now as a
Whittier City Councilor. In June of 2006, I came in
second in my campaign for the 58th Assembly
District.
As you probably can tell, politics is my vocation
and my avocation.
Let’s explore our political world together.
