The Southwest Voice

I live in Stockdale Estates with my wife Alice, daughter Paige (8 1/2), son Blair (7 1/2), daughter Taber (5 months),  and Boston Terrier Bruno (12) I am a business and real estate attorney with Borton Petrini, LLP, My wife is a very busy homemaker and Mary Kay Consultant. My children attend Downtown School. We are very active members of First Presbyterian Church.

I was born and raised in Bakersfield, although I left for nearly 14 years after high school, returning in 1993.  I graduated from South High School (1978), U.C. Davis, with a degree in Economics and Political Science (1982), and the University of Southern California, with a J.D. and MBA (1986).  I have been a lawyer for nearly 22 years.  I have also taught business law and ethics at various local universities since 1997; taught various law school courses at California Pacific School of Law; and periodically teach Real Estate Law for CSUB's Extended Studies Program. 

I am an avid Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, USC Trojan football, and CSUB Roadrunner basketball fan.  I am so avid that I even track the Angels minor league system and follow high school recruiting.  I have very little time to read books.  My favorite passion, however, is spending time with my family.  I recognized long ago that the time I have with my children is limited, and thus, I enjoy what they enjoy doing.
