| Previous Employment: | After practicing law in Seattle, Washington for a number of years, in 1985 I was recruited to serve as the Attorney General for Pohnpei State in the Federated States of Micronesia. During my tenure, I negotiated the terms of and drafted the legal agreements for a number of large scale infrastructure projects (power plant, airport terminal, etc.). Upon my return to the United States, in addition to practicing law, I launched several entrepreneurial ventures, including GRANDtimes.com, a Web site currently ranked by Google as the #1 online senior magazine and Internet portal site for older adults. |

I serve on the Board of Directors of several nonprofit organizations. I also founded an organization that has contributed hundreds of hours of labor to an Albany, California public school. I am a former estate planning software content consultant for Thomson West, a leading legal software publisher. |
