Hi all,
I decided to post on who I am as well. I am 43-year old male who was born and raised in Fresno. I graduated from CSU-Fresno in 1987 majoring in Biology. When my wife Karen and I were married in 1990, I moved to the San Bernardino area of Southern California where she was in the middle of medical school. I worked at Loma Linda Medical Center as an EEG and Evoked Potential Tech, working with mostly seizure patients. Towards the end of my wife's residency program we had the first of our two daughters. We soon moved to Oregon for what turned out to be seven years. While there , we decided to have me stay home with the two kids while my wife worked in building her Family Medicine practice, ands, pay off those pesky medical school bills. We also decided to homeschool our kids as well. We enjoyed our stay in Oregon and made lots of friends, but, we decided to move back to Fresno four years ago to be closer to family. I continue to stay at home with the girls and we also continue to homeschool them. Since being back in Fresno, I have gotten involved in Creative Fresno and I now have been on their board for the past two years. Our family has been involved in The Children's Musical Theaterworks both on and off stage. My wife has started the first retainer-based medical practice in Fresno and has created a beautiful and plush office in Downtown Fresno.http://www.hansen-smith.com/ I find myself more involved in the local politics then I was when I first lived in Fresno and I have enjoyed meeting many interesting and nice people since I have been back. I look forward to helping Fresno become a better place to live for my family and for the Valley.
