I am a native Californian with a great interest in the history of Marin County where I have lived since 1985. My recently published book, More Moments in Marin History: Familiar Tales and Untold Stories, Vol. II, follows the publication of my first book, Moments in Marin History: Familiar Tales and Untold Stories published in July of 2022. I worked as both a history teacher and Library Director in Marin County Schools for over 25 years earning my Bachelor's degree from U.C. Berkeley and advanced degrees from San Francisco and San Jose State universities. Working as a volunteer for the Marin History Museum, I have written over 180 “History Watch” columns that have appeared in the Marin Independent Journal newspaper and assist with cataloging arctic explorer and Marin County native Louise Arner Boyd's collection. I also write poetry and short stories. I have served on the San Anselmo Library Advisory Board and manage online sales of antiquarian books for the Friends of the San Anselmo Library. I have been happily married to my lovely wife Janet for 43 years and have two wonderful sons, Brendan and Connor.
