    Title: SR DIR Business Solutions

    Fun Fact: I came to Cal Poly to study Dairy Science and dreamed of returning to New England to farm. I fell in love with SLO and stayed here eventually getting involved in telecommunications in 1983 just as AT&T was being broken up. I was the first employee and eventually President of Call America. Later I started another company called Call America and later Blue Rooster Telecom. We joined forces with Norcast and then with Digital West.

     

    I never did become a dairy farmer, but we do raise beef cattle on a small cow calf operation on our ranch near Los Osos that I operate with my family. We live "off the grid" with 40+ cows as well as horses, cats, and dogs. I am a bit of a character and love and appreciate our wonderful customers and my dedicated co-workers at Digital West.
