Welcome to our website!

We are a family owned business.  My wife, Chris and I along with our oldest daughter, Ily Noelle, are its principals.  A resident of San Diego for over forty years.  I love the water, sailing, kayaking and bodyboard surfing. Our son, Kris, is a San Diego Fire Fighter-Paramedic.  Our youngest son, Jon, is a graduate of USC and PhD Candidate at NorthWestern University in Nueroscience.
