California Native

You can’t get much more native Angeleno: I was born in Queen of the Angels Hospital (Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center) west of downtown Los Angeles.

I graduated from the University of Southern California.

I married a fellow native Trojan.

We have five children. They all attended the same parish school through eighth grade.

The girls attended Rosary High School in Fullerton. The boy went to Servite in Anaheim.

Three (so far) are also Trojans.

We’ve lived in the same house since a month before our first child was born.

The plumbing needs to be fixed, the carpets need to be replaced and the kitchen needs to be remodeled.

But the computer network — wired and wireless — is state-of-the-art!
