University of California, Santa Barbara with a degree in Communications in
1987. He lives in Irvine, California with his wife Janet and their two
children.
Born October 14, 1964, his primary personality traits are represented by
the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Wood Dragon. The Wood Dragon is
the most mellow of the species as the gentle Wood element tones down some of
the Dragon's usual arrogance and bossiness. He is generally more open minded
than other Dragons, and in the field of art his tastes might even extend to the
avant garde. If he can develop your practical side, he will be capable of great
accomplishments.
