About this blog: I was a "corporate brat" growing up and lived in different parts of the country, ending in Houston, Texas for high school. After attending college at UC Davis, and getting an MBA at Harvard, I embarked on a marketing career, mainly in the Bay Area with different companies. My former wife went back to medical school after we had been married a few years, and we moved into married student housing at Stanford, had our two now adult children while she was a medical student, and moved into Palo Alto when she started her Residency. Been here ever since. As my kids were going through the Palo Alto schools, I was actively involved in their activities, most notably head umpire for Palo Alto Little League and 9 years as a member of the Parks and Recreation Commission, among other activities. My kids both are grown, my son teaches 5th grade locally, and my daughter, fluent in Mandarin, is working in China. I sold the business I owned and ran for 8 years in 2012, worked on the Obama campaign, and am consulting for non-profit organizations, which gives me a nice, flexible schedule. Lots of stamps in my passport, and for fun, I like live performances &emdash; theater and music - and of course the Giants!

Back to College
Uploaded: Sep 5, 2010
My daughter Adrienne, a 2008 PALY grad, shipped off on Jet Blue Saturday night for her junior year at Middlebury College in Vermont.
Her summer back in Palo Alto included some down time, working as a Camp Galileo Counselor at Walter Hays, and socializing with friends she grew up with. By all accounts, she had a pleasant summer.
She and I had some enjoyable times at events downtown and at dining establishments, but I mainly gave her a great deal of space.
It is somewhat confusing to be a parent of a college age student who is an "adult" legally, but of course is still your child, living under your roof, for a few summer months.
Community.
What is it worth to you?
