Residence: Pleasanton, Calif.
Family: wife Paris; two children
Education: Bachelor's degree from Sacramento State
Professional Background: Owner of Hap's Original, in Pleasanton, an upscale steak and seafood restaurant

Racing Career: Got involved in owning horses "back whenever" (at least 20 years ago) with trainer Tom Roberts and a $5,000 claimer ...
