I am originally from Birmingham AL. I've lived in San Diego since 1991. I've been married for 29 years. I've been working in food service for 36 years with 34 of those years in the federal sector. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, grandkids and friends. I love to barbecue, bowl and watch action and horror movies. I've been employed with UCSD since 2022. I was hired as a food service manager working at the campus restaurants until I moved over to UC Health in 2024.
