He was indeed blessed in having and being a part of families that enjoyed his good nature, his integrity, honesty, and shared love.

He was born and raised in Snohomish County Washington state;  where he developed his love of the outdoors; mountain climbing, hiking, snow sking, sailing, rowing, and took every advantage in imagining, planning, implementing his adventures. This including all who knew they would be embarking on what would be one of his and their most memorial memories. He loved the Pacific Northwest region (along with South America and Scandinavia Europe).  After a serious motorcycle accident at the age of 24 he turned to Chiropractic and Tai Chi to recover.  And later became a Tai Chi Master.
