I am a third generation Idahoan, graduated from Boise High School in 1969, and went on to Boise State. 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. Since then I have lived the life of an entrepreneur and community activist.
