BigWig Fun Fact: I walked in a Komen 3-Day with a team called Judy’s Jugs in 2008…and developed shin splints for the first time since high school.
Why are you participating?
I’ve had a number of family members and friends afflicted with breast cancer, some of whom survived and some (including my mother) who did not. My brother and I are strong supporters of the Komen organization’s goals.

Why are you participating?
I am participating in BigWigs in memory of my mother Judy Field-Baker who we lost to breast cancer in October of 2009. I miss her everyday.
What is your greatest achievement?
My greatest achievement.. without question, raising three fantastic kids who are the light of my life.
What brightens your day?
What brightens my day.. well.. a great cup of coffee in the morning, casting a line into the glassy water of a lake in the high Sierras, hitting a long drive that goes straight down the middle of the fairway (still waiting to experience that sensation), watching the Bruins beat the Trojans at football.. or basketball.. or baseball, coming home to my kids and my darling wife.
What is your favorite vacation spot? Why?
My favorite vacation spot.. I love the San Juan Islands. I’ve spent a lot of time there during my life and have many great memories of experiences there with family and friends. It is perhaps the one place I don’t think I could ever get tired of.
