Dean Brightman, Neighbor

Born in Richmond.  Spent most of my childhood in Tara Hills.  Graduated from PVHS too long ago to admit.   Received a BA-Communication Studies from Sac State (Go Hornets!).  I moved back to the area, to Hercules, about nine years ago.  I live here with my wonderful wife and a geriatric, sometimes incontinent, but always adorable cat.

I work in marketing, but don't hold that against me.  I'm a pretty good guy.  Hobbies?  Wine and beer tasting, reading, following the A's (let's go OAK-land!) and Niners, and of course writing.

I enjoy living here, but like most people am frustrated at how long things have taken to develop.  With the most recent crises involving our esteemed City Council, who knows how long it'll take?  But this is a great place, and I'm willing to wait it out.   Besides, I don't really have a choice.  My mortgage is underwater!
