He and his wife compete in mixed doubles tennis through SATA (the Sacramento Area Tennis Association) and to quote Denny, "if your relationship can survive competitive mixed doubles, then your relationship can survive just about anything else life has to offer".

Many of you may have met Denny before today or at least you may have given him a high five or two as Denny spent the summers of 1985 and 1986 as the official California State Fair Bear! Yes it was hot every day at 5pm during the State Fair parade but it did pay more than the beer garden job he had originally signed on for.
