I have lived in Skagit Valley since shortly after graduation. I have worked in Operations/Logistics for Tesoro Petroleum (Formerly Shell) Oil Refinery in Anacortes since 1992. I met my wife Dena of Burlington in 1990 and we married in 1993. We built our current home in Burlington in 1994 and have been here ever since. We have two great children....Brandon (1998) and Ashley (2000). Dena works as an Instructional Assistant with the Burlington-Edison School District. We recently bought a new travel trailer and have been busy doing a lot of camping throughout the Northwest.
