About RichDavega

My wife & I discovered Cambria in 1983 and have owned property here since then. We immediately put in place plans to retire here, which we did in 2005. I retired after 30+ years with IRS and my wife from WAMU after a long banking career. In the interim, we built our dream home here and in 2006 were joined in town by our daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. In 2008 I became the manager of the local H & R Block office. I'm totally dedicated to Cambria, the best place on Earth!
