I came to Fort Bragg from Portland, Oregon in 1976 as an accountant with Georgia Pacific Corp.  I left GP,  married and began in Real Estate in 1978 – I opened the first office in 1980 and became a Century 21 Franchise in Fort Bragg in 1982.  In 1985 the office in Mendocino was opened.  Paul and wife, Barbara, have owned and operated both Real Estate Offices ever since.  Paul was on Fort Bragg City Planning Commission from approximately 1980-1982 during General Plan implementation, and I have been closely following City Government and Actions, especially from the 1998 election to date.  Paul and Barbara have two grown children and at last count 9 grandchildren.
