I have been very fortunate to have a multifaceted career as a psychologist, researcher, academician, counseling center director, military psychologist, director of internships, private practitioner, medical clinic specialist and cab driver (while working my way through the University of Texas and learning about life as seen by the masses).

I received my PhD from The University of Texas at Austin in 1947, having begun the doctoral program in 1937, interrupted by World War II. In 1947, following my discharge from the Army and the completion of the PhD, I became the executive director of the counseling center at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). After 10 years at UCSB, I rejoined the Army and for 14 years was stationed at five different major U.S. Army hospitals, including two tours in Germany and two years at Walter Reed General Hospital.

After retiring from the Army, planning to be a beach and tennis devotee, I was delighted to found the psychology service at Sansum Medical Clinic in Santa Barbara, a general-practice clinic also dedicated to research and treatment of diabetes. Twenty years later, in 1993, I retired again to spend more time with organized psychology.

I have been a member of APA since 1947. I have served as the project director for a commission on standards in 1970, later on APA's Council of Representatives, several APA committees, as member of the Board of Directors of Divs. 31 (State Psycho-logical Association Affairs), 42 (Psychologists in Independent Practice) and 46 (Media), and BAPPI, and as president of Div. 46. At the state level, I have served for 10 years on the Board of Directors of the California Psychological Association (CPA), as its president in 1983 and 1987, and for ten years on the CPA-PAC.

Probably my most important contributions to my profession have been in the political arena. Beginning in 1982, I was on the committees to elect a member to the California Assembly and then to the California Senate, followed by several committees to elect a member to the House of Representatives.

From 1996 to the present, I have been a member of the Board of Trustees of the Association for the Advancement of Psychology, and was the chair from 1996 to 2001.

My hobbies are hanging out with my grandchildren, swimming, walking on the beach, bridge, baking and having weekly breakfasts, which I have organized with my former medical and psychology colleagues.
