Summarize your current situation (family, work, hobbies, etc.):
I am married to my beautiful wife, Lesley, and we are blessed with 2 children of our own (Hannah, 5 & Garret, 3). I have a daughter from a previous married named Sidney and she is 12. As you can probably tell in my current picture the red hair does run in the family! We are typical family of 5 with active youngsters that participate in dance, gymnastics and soccer. But, even though we are always on the run I would not change it for anything. I am a pharmacist and owner of an independent pharmacy located in the metropolis of Patterson California (population of 16,800). After working in Patterson (I have a business partner who is also a Pharmacist) I also do a little consulting for Memorial Hospital in Modesto as a clinical pharmacist. We reside in Turlock so that we can be closer to my in-laws.
Summarize your life history for the last 20 years:
Well in a nutshell: After high school I went straight to Butte for 2 years and then on to CSUC for the remaining 2 years. I graduated from CSUC in 1992 with a Bachelor in Business and Minor in Economics and quickly realized that working in the family business just wasn't for me. Pouring concrete at 5am and still pounding nails at 9pm did not leave a lot of room for a family so I decided to pursue a career in Pharmacy. After finishing a Bachelor in Chemistry I attended UOP School of Pharmacy & received my Doctorate in Pharmacy in 2001 and have not looked back once. If you ask my wife I am a very busy guy and after looking at my "month-at-a-glance" I guess that I am. If I am not working during the day at our Pharmacy or Memorial Hospital it seems that I am either teaching a block course to 3rd year UOP Pharmacy students or finishing up materials for my duties for in California Pharmacist Association. Even though life is busy I enjoy the flexibility that it allows for those dance recitals, gymnastic competitions & soccer games all the while being home in the evenings. I am the President of Wong and Bragdon Pharmacy, Inc., which is a corporation a buddy, and I formed after finishing pharmacy school. The corporation utilizes Patterson Family Pharmacy as the Flag Ship business while also having partial ownership in 2 other independent pharmacies and durable medical equipment retailers.
