                                              Personal:

Raised in Richfield, MN, reside in southwest Minneapolis with my wife Lynn (medical technologist),
daughter Rachel (accountant), daughter Lisa (junior at University of Wisconsin - Madison), pet dog
Rascal, two cars, and one yellow moped.

I decided to become a dentist at age 11, was a Boy Scout (Eagle scout rank), played baritone
saxophone in my high school marching and swing bands, was a ski jumper on my high school ski
team (tri-captain), was a camp counselor at Camp Kici-Yapi YMCA Day Camp, and worked as an
orderly in hospitals and nursing homes.

I served in the USAF as a dentist at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico from 1972-74 (Vietnam
era), flew small single-engine airplanes (commercial-instrument license), was a part-time educator at
the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry (Oral Anatomy, Clinical Operative Dentistry) from
1974-84, went helicopter skiing in Canada, was a founding member and officer of the Fulton
Neighborhood Association in Minneapolis, and was a girl's softball coach.

I was twice appointed by Governors Jesse Ventura (1999) and Tim Pawlenty (2003) to serve 4-year
terms on the Minnesota Board of Dentistry, am a licensing examiner for the Central Regional Dental
Testing Service (2002-present), and was a member of the men’s alpine course crew at the 2002
Winter Olympics in Salt Lake.  Currently, I enjoy ski patrolling at Afton Alps Ski Area (36th year),
sailing my trimaran (Blue Pearl), watching video movies, learning, occasional lecturing, buying books
I really don't have time to read, surfing the web, and especially taking naps.  I watch very little T.V.,
but I never miss "Boston Legal" and "Eli Stone".
