After 20 years of being immersed in Silicon Valley high-tech, Gary left San Francisco in the mid-aughts for Santa Fe, New Mexico. His entrepreneurial drive still intact, he ventured into several modest software startup efforts over the course of the next decade. Taking a break from these flights of startup fancy, he spent time building a new home (really, he built much of the house himself). Gary finally hung up both his software development and construction tool-belts a couple of years ago and drifted into retirement. He decided to explore the world of punditry when Richard tweaked his interest with the concept of Camp Codger podcasting.
Randy Schultz spent his professional career in marketing and communications, mostly in the home and garden industry. His company, Schultz Communications, counseled some of the biggest names in gardening–including Park Seed, Summit Responsible Solutions, Gardens Alive, Botanical Interests, American Meadows, and more. Now he’s the Content Editor and Founder of HomeGardenandHomestead.com, a website dedicated to spreading the word about what’s new and trending for homes, gardens and homesteads. As a Camp Counselor for Camp Codger, Randy’s role is to bring humor and perspective to discussions about getting older. His goal is to maintain his young-at-heart attitude and optimism no matter how old he gets.
Richard is an old journalism hand — ancient, really, after 40-plus years toiling in the ink-stained craft. For nearly three decades he was a newsroom junkie, plying his trade in editing posts at the LA Times. Richard thought he was done with all that when he jumped ship to academic life at the University of Southern California but then has spent most of the past dozen years still directing reporters on stories and projects at the Center for Health Reporting at the Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics. He’s also taken time out to teach journalism at four universities. But all this is just a backdrop to Richard’s real job — a passionate soccer fan. And now, this new and perilous act — discussing, arguing, and probing the issues of accepting, even embracing, our roles as senior citizens with the occasionally grumpy Gary Ebersole.
