He holds numerous patents in space communications and satellite technologies and leaves behind various business ventures. He was a board member of Morgan Hill Youth Sports Alliance and went on to direct activities at the Outdoor Sports Complex. He enjoyed playing jazz piano, freelance web development and coaching youth sports.
He’s survived by his beloved wife Christine, children Alex, Lauren, Eric and Ryan.
