Retirement Is Not Going As Planned......

My business career began in 1962, and after 40  years, I decided it was time to sell my company and retire. I left the company with more than 200 distributors around the world,  and it left me with high blood pressure and way too much time on my hands. My retirement plan was to goof off; go sailing on sunny days and tinker with my old cars on the cloudy ones, a perfect plan; so I thought.

But not so fast. No sooner had I retired when my wife Sigrid changed the plan.  She rented an office for me in downtown Santa Barbara hoping I would be inspired to be more productive.

A New Career.....

I soon became involved at the Santa Barbara Yacht Club creating software programs to score sailboat races, and I developed a new web site for the club. I served on various committees and on the Board of Directors. In 2007 I was honored to become the club's Commodore.  My racing programs are still alive and well and have always been available to other yacht clubs at no cost.

So now after two satisfying careers, I think I'll give plan 'A' another try
