He was stationed at NAS Alemeda in the Bay Area and traveled around the world (twice), serving on board the USS Arkansas(CGN-41) a nuclear powered guided missile cruiser as a Machinst's Mate. After getting his discharge he decided to stay in California and lived in San Francisco working at a polymer science company in Palo Alto. He attended San Francisco State University and received his BS in Cell and Molecular Biology. After getting his degree he worked for a year doing genetic research at the University of California at San Francisco. When the grant money dried up he found employment at Amgen and re-located to Thousand Oaks. There he started in the drug manufacturing department making Epogen, the world's first block-buster, genetically engineered therapeutic. Gradually he began to move into more of an engineering role, designing and installing new equipment for Epogen and other genetically engineered drug products. While there he met his future wife Cathy at work. After marriage they bought a house in Newbury Park where they still live with their 3 kids and dog Coco. After working there for several years he caught the entrepreneurial bug and decided to leave Amgen and start his own business.
