I have lived in a manufactured (mobile) home since 1958, when I moved into Pacific Mobile Home Park in Huntington Beach, California with my parents John (Jack) and Elsie. I was 11 years old at the time. Through the years, I not only personally witnessed the changes in park conditions and environment, but the changes in this particular lifestyle throughout the city, county, state, and even nation.

My commitment as our parks official residents representative, during our City's initial redevelopment efforts in 1987, helped save the park from outside real estate interests. This also promoted my tenure and efforts to other manufactured home owner's organizations as well.

Today, I live in the same park, but now at a different location with my wife Deborah. I still am very much active, having conceived and continue to develop this very Manufactured Home Owners Network (MHON), the premier on-line informational forum and largest one-stop-source of its kind in the nation for the manufactured home owner.

Official Interpretation:

"I did have the head of our Occupational Licensing Division go over our concerns and view your website and she also didn’t find anything that we considered a conflict of interest. Having a website to assist homeowners and also selling them homes would hardly be a conflict. There also didn’t appear to anything controversial on your website. From what you have presented there doesn’t appear to me to be a problem."
