Personal Note

One of my greatest legal moments recalled, is in 2001, when I was invited and took my son for a private meeting with Justice Anthony Kennedy, my Constitutional Law professor at UOP, who after delivering the case of the day, swore me into membership of the United States Supreme Court.
One of my passions is sailing the San Francisco Bay and I was a past member of the CAL Sailing Club. In my spare time I like to build and fly scale airplanes.
