• What brought you to the Yuba-Sutter area? Back in 1991 when we moved here, it looked like a really nice place to stay and it was much less crowded than San Jose. I grew up in a small town anyway in Michigan.

• What is the closest you've been to a famous person? I used to drive a cab in San Jose and I had Jerry Seinfeld in the cab. He was supposed to appear on Johnny Carson, but he got bumped off. This was the next night. He was kind of pissed about it. I've been with others, but he was probably the most well-known. In fact, he invited me to come in and see him perform at the Garden City. There's a really funny thing that happened about a year later: My two brothers live in Michigan; one of them went up to this guy and asked him where the bathroom was. It was Jerry Seinfeld. Talk about coincidences.

• If you were granted one wish, what would you wish for? Be about 25 years old and have the knowledge I have now.

• Favorite musical group: Doors

• Favorite television show: "Star Trek"

• Favorite sports team: Detroit Lions, Oakland A's and San Francisco Giants

• Whom do you most admire and why? John Kennedy. He kind of changed my life a little. I was 15 when he was murdered. My father would come in second.

• Tell us about a life-changing experience: Vietnam. It totally altered my life. When I went there I was a green kid, but when I came back a year later, I saw a lot of things in a much different light. I was in the Air Force at Danang.

• Favorite quote: It's the golden rule, but it's a difference version: "He who has the gold rules."

• Do you belong to any clubs or organizations in the community? Yuba-Sutter Democratic Club

• What is your worst fear? Sleepwalking naked
