About

Known as the Chairman of the Board, the graying Hessless Californian with too many jackets and shoes is sarcastic, funny, hard-drinking, sometimes crass and always opinionated. A professional smart-ass always standing on his soapbox whenever he gets the chance.

His fingers are in a lot of projects, (most of them top secret) some of them are worked from his office is in San Ramon California, and some in the manroom* of his house (Cheeks says he's dreaming) where the sun is warm and the weather is always pleasant. Well maintained yards, friendly neighbors, safe and clean streets - with calm drivers (yeah right). Restoration Hardware is close by, good restaurants and wineries not far. Also enjoy impeccable wireless service, cigars at excellent prices and High-Definition TV (U-Verse).

* Manroom: Part home office, part home theater, part isolation chamber. Soothing jazz tunes or maybe some Ol' Blue Eyes coming from the radio. Old bottle of bourbon, you know the kind - with a nice wax seal is available on the shelf near an old wooden desk. A large leather chair. A laptop. Big fat ash-tray - encouraging enjoyment of a cigar. Stacks of magazines and books. The smell of coffee and cigar lingers in the air. A calendar with women, pictures of cars and a model of a BMW... I think you get it.

I'm hell bent on doing exactly what I love for the rest of my life.
