Causes I Believe In Please consider donating.

Bob Koll was the best overall sailor I've met in my life. Competitor or cruiser, everyone looked up to his skills and trusted their lives to his craftsmanship. His lifelong dedication to enabling access to sailing for everyday people was a treasure so inspiring that this foundation to carry that mission forward was created in his memory by his friends.

The sport of shooting is traditionally awarded the first Gold Medal at every Olympic Games. Future champions who will one day compete for the honor of the Unites States of America are born in junior programs like this one. They are a precious few boys and girls willing to spend hours of practice pursuing one of the most misunderstood and safest of all NCAA sports.

Be Part of the World, Serve the Community
It's important to contribute to the community. I help the Manhattan Beach Police Department perform traffic control at community events. That's me in the SUV working a 5K race.
Group Activities Keep You Smiling

I love the support I get from my fellow hams as Chairman of W6TRW's ARRL Field Day exercise.
We're clowning around while setting up one of four antenna towers at Polliwog Park in Manhattan Beach.
I love this weekend long event because I get a big budget from Northop-Grumman's radio
club to buy all my friends a magnificent barbecue.
Individual Focus is the Key to Relaxation


Contentment at last! This photo was my most satisfied smile last year. It was taken at the CMP Western Games in 2006 after winning a gold achievement award. Sometimes it's just your day to have everything come together.
