Welcome to our family site. Just to give a quite overview, Laura and Dave live in Southern California. Laura takes care of her dad's dental practice and Dave runs his own software development company. Both of us are USC football fans where Dave graduated with his MBA.


We have a new addition to the family named Daniel Richard Gates. Coming up to his 7th month, he has discovered his voice and almost ready to crawl to his favorite toys. He loves watching Disney's 'My Friends, Tigger and Pooh', and his MLB baseball team, the Anaheim Angels!

Although this picture is from Christmas time, you can tell Daniel is anticipating great things in his Santa bag.


It is kind of early to tell where Daniel will be heading in life, but he loves listening to his music, 'talking', and giggling.

Back in May, the USC EMBA Class XXII got together for our first reunion. Here are a few picts from the event. Note: Daniel was a BIG hit!
