I am a lifelong Californian, born and raised in the San Joaquin Valley. My first visit to Lafayette was in 1968, during my senior year in college, when my future wife brought me home to meet her parents. Skipping ahead, Sharon and I and our two children made the move to Lafayette in 1980 for familiar reasons – the great schools, the incomparable natural setting, the warm summers (but not as warm as the San Joaquin Valley). Except for time in Asia when I opened and led offices for my law firm, we have been here ever since.
