I married my high school sweetheart Cheryl Bianucci in 1984 and 35 years later we are as happy as ever.  Our oldest Daughter Kylie recently married her college sweetheart Mitch, our daughter Abby attends UNR, and our son Drew is preparing to spend two years in Africa giving service to the people of Ghana.. I love spending time with my family, watching my kids develop their talents, and when I can find a little free time, fly fishing.  I consider the amazing Truckee River flowing through the heart of our town as a gift to be enjoyed and protected.  Since I don’t often find time to fish, I like to grab a sandwich to eat by the river while I enjoy its beauty.
