About Mr. Porte
Since moving to the greater Fresno Area in 2017, he has grown to love this area of California and the endless opportunities for outdoor recreation it offers. He is an avid backpacker, fisherman, and skier. He also takes advantage of the fantastic growing conditions in the San Joaquin Valley and can be found tending his garden and feeding his chickens on the weekends at his small ranchette in Madera.
“Reason is the life of the law; nay, the common law itself is nothing else but reason – the law which is perfection of reason.”
