I am a third generation Idahoan. I graduated from Boise High School in 1969, and then started my higher education at Boise College. That was interrupted by a brief trip to boot camp in Fort Lewis, Washington after being drafted. I returned to Boise State in 1970. During my time at Boise State I was also involved with the campaigns of Frank Church, Cecil Andrus, John Evans and numerous other Democratic and independent political hopefuls.

I finished my college studies in 1975 and headed to McCall to operate a restaurant business. In 1976 I returned to Boise, managed a law firm for my friend Cumer Green and eventually started getting involved with Northend issues. In 1979 I started putting together the work it would take to open a restaurant in Hyde Park. While I never opened the restaurant, I was able to do most of the work needed for a business of this type - rezoning, creating a local improvement district (LID) that lead to the redevelopment of the area in the early 80’s, and mobilizing Hyde Park merchants by forming the Hyde Park Merchants Association.

In 1980 I started my career in the computer business. I am now the proprietor of several small web and Internet businesses including:

Readywebgo - design for print & web
Initial Point Consulting - blended media consulting
Northend.org - the top neighborhood-specific web site in America
