Background: Originally from New Orleans, LA,  moved to Lewisville, TX 
in 1982.  Work for mapping software company,
Environmental Systems Research Institute (Redlands, CA) in Richardson, 
TX office.  Most of my free time is taken
up with family activities with my wife and 3 children.  My hobby is 
managing my son's Club soccer team and getting
together for New Beetle Club meetings and occasional events with other 
club members.

Awards
3rd place Modified Stock Roswell 2K New Beetle Show - Roswell, NM (June 
2000).  I love the New Beetle, like it to
look good but prefer spending time at VW shows looking at the other 
nice cars rather than cleaning mine.
