I have been interested in my family since I was 5 years old, but did not start doing family research until 1990. I have been on staff at the Oakland California Family Search Library from 1991 to the present day. After I retired in 2010 I have had lots of time for family research and in searching for my family I have been many places in the United States and to England and the Netherlands across the big "little" pond. Which includes proven lines back to 26 of the passengers on the Mayflower ship 1620.

I work with my wife to take pictures and visit cemeteries that she has entered over the years so together we have entered many memorials and pictures.

I'm a native Californian, born in the San Francisco Bay area. I have been married twice and have 3 children and 8 grandchildren.

I'm only human so as a result from time to time I may make an error in entering information on a memorial, so if you see one please let me know so that I can fix it. I want my memorials to be as accurate as possible not only for my family but for others as well. If you want a bio added please sent it to me and I'll put it in the memorial.
