As a Washington State native and graduate from the University of Washington, but not a fan of the gray and drizzly weather, his family decided to migrate to the warmer climate of Scottdale, Arizona.

Their two grown daughters live in Tucson, where they stayed after graduating for the University of Arizona – go Wildcats.
