I'm John. I live in the hills above Oakland, California, across the Bay from San Francisco. When I have a moment to spare, I'm probably thinking about music or the mountains. I enjoy meeting new friends, traveling, hiking, running, and (when there's snow) nordic skiing. I am a member of the Volunteer Trail Safety Patrol of the East Bay Regional Park District. I am a licensed Amateur Radio Service operator, Amateur Extra class (KS6M), and a licensed General Mobile Radio Service operator (WPXK898), with an emphasis on emergency communications.
I also enjoy Web site design. You can see more about that at jrabold.net.
I'm single and in my mid fifties. I was born in Pennsylvania, but have lived in California for most of my life. I went to junior high and high school in Long Beach, obtained my bachelor's degree from Pomona College and my master's from the Anderson School at UCLA.
