I am a native Californian who was raised in the San Fernando Valley. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts as well as a Juris Doctor degree from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. I spent time working in the fields of mortgage banking, property management, and commercial real estate before moving into graphic design, advertising and marketing.

In early 1993, my wife and I started up our own graphic design company, JRP Productions, which specializes in the design and printing of brochures, newsletters, ad layouts, and other print materials for businesses in the Los Angeles and Ventura County areas. We provide the highest in professional quality for a more reasonable cost than you might expect!

I am married to my high school sweetheart, Julie. We have 3 sons ages 19, 17, and 15. Besides computers, I also enjoy reading fantasy novels and listening to music. Julie and I host monthly House Concerts in our living room, which is our way of sharing the music we love with the community around us.
