In short

  • I've worked as a creative director in advertising for about 20 years before launching a green business with my wife called MyGoodGreetings.com. I've written and produced hundreds of commercials for career colleges coast-to-coast.

    "If you're like me, and you like helping people, then you'd love being a Medical Assistant." Yeah, that's one of mine.

    Now that we have our own business, I have much more time to spend with my two young boys Jack and Jesse. I also have the time to finish my memoir which I hope gets published one day.

  • I look familiar to many people. Perhaps because I appeared in a print ad for Clorox bleach back in 1970. Yes, I am the mustard stained boy. Then again, maybe I just have one of those faces.

    Another major achievement was winning the 1968 San Francisco hula hoop championship. I know what you're thinking, hula hooping is for girls and it's not really a sport. To that, all I can say is you're just jealous.

    I had a most unusual childhood that I've woven into a book called Don't Call Me Jupiter. I think it's the saddest and funniest book you'll ever read.
