Greetings and a warm welcome to you from the Sacramento Valley MG Car Club (SVMGCC). As President for 2007, I look forward to a continuation of an open door for all MG enthusiast; whether you own one of these fine vehicles or just have a passion for the marque. I would like to encourage you to check out our website and consider joining us at our many events that you will find under our “Future Events” page. Our friendly club has many members with a plethora of knowledge so if you have any questions, please call upon us.

As for me, I grew up in Southern California between Malibu and Pacific Palisades. After serving a tour in Viet Nam with the US Navy, I went on to UCLA and then transferred to Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, CA. In ’96 (after shoveling too much snow in Tahoe) I moved the family to the Sacramento area. We reside in the town of Loomis in Placer County. Our family includes our three children, Aaron, Jamie and Ashley and seven grandchildren!

Often times I look back upon how I became immersed in the world of MGs and other British marques. It was my Dad’s fault. He had a ’48 TC when I was born in 1950 and then after that a ’58 MG Magnette, ‘62 MGA MKII De Luxe (boy, I wish he had kept that one). The real obsession for me began in 1956, when he bought a ’56 Jaguar XK 140 (yes, I still have the car). Since obtaining my license to drive, I have owned more MG’s than I can actually count. Those have included TDs, a TF, MGAs, and of course MGBs. Presently, along with Beckie (my bride of 27 years), we own a ‘67 MGB MKI Roadster as well as a ’67 MGB GT.

My passion for the British cars keeps me busy as well as my Commercial Real Estate business. Beckie is a residential real estate agent and also loves to drive whenever I let her.

I am pleased to serve as the President of our club and my desire is to take the club in a direction wherein everybody has some level of involvement, whether or not it's at the social level, driving events or both.

Please feel free to contact me directly at 916-652-2258 if you are a club member or not. I will make myself available for any questions or comments that you may have. If you are planning to visit from outside the area we would love to have you join us for any of our events or monthly meetings.

Cheers! And remember, “Safety Fast”
