Alan grew up on an apple ranch in Sonoma County, California, where he enjoyed small rural schools, the outdoors and riding horses. While attending Santa Rosa Community College, Alan met his life partner, Jeanne, and they were married in 1968. Raising a family led to looking for new lands and adventure, and resulted in their re-location to the high desert community of Alturas in 1978. Alan co-founded Pioneer Auto Body, Inc with his father in 1982 and has served as president and operations manager to the present.

Alan joined the Rotary Club of Alturas in 1995 and served as club president in 2002-2003, and then served as Assistant Governor for Area 12 from 2006 to 2009.

Alan also was the club coordinator and led two Rotary teams on international projects in Belize in 2005 and 2006, providing classroom equipment, furniture and refurbishing for six rooms at Mt Carmel school in the western border community of Benque Viejo. Alan and Jeanne have had the pleasure of hosting two RYE students over the years. Daughter Kelly and son Tom are both Paul Harris Fellows.

Alan's wife Jeanne, also a Rotarian, served as Club President in 2007-2008, assistant Governor for 2009-2010, is a Paul Harris Fellow, and member of the Bequest Society.
