I was born on 6 August 1956 in San Francisco, California to Janet and (the late) Richard Hovis.
I grew up in Santa Monica, California where I attended elementary, junior high school, and high school (graduating in 1974), in addition to involvement in sports and recreation (Little League +, the Boy’s Club ++). Further, it was in elementary school – St. Augustine’s By-the -Sea Parish School that I found, and made the choice to truly journey with God.
I attended Arizona State University from 1974 to 1977 – seeking to become an architect, however, I was not accepted, and, as such, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree.
Upon graduation from Arizona State University, I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and studied City and Regional Planning at the Master’s level. I successfully completed one (1) year in a two (2) year program – I did not complete the Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning – due to personal reasons.
I returned to Santa Monica where I started (October 1979) my career as graphic designer with Exxon Company, USA. I spent five years with Exxon Company, USA.
While working with Exxon Company, USA I was accepted into architectural school – Sci-Arc in Southern California, however, I did not attend preferring to stay with Exxon..
In 1982 I married Laura Flosi and in April 1983 we had our one and only child – Lauren Alain Hovis – a gift from God.
We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 from Los Angeles, where I went to work as a graphic designer with Kitchell CEM (from 1985 -1987).
From 1987 – 1995 I was an independent contractor, and a registered representative in mortgage finance, financial management, graphic design, and drafting.
Further, I attended the University of Phoenix and successfully obtained a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in 1982.
I was also a member of the Scottsdale Jaycees, where I became very involved in community events and projects.
In 1994, I accepted a cartography position with the Defense Mapping Agency in Reston, Virginia. As such, I relocated from Phoenix to Reston.
In 1998, I was accepted and worked as a Visual Information Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2002, I worked as a Support Officer until my retirement (due to a need for shoulder surgery) in September 2018.
Away from my Federal Government service, I have been involved in various organizations and activities in Northern Virginia.
In November of 2011, I married Rebecca Ouellette in Santa Monica, California. I reside in San Tan Valley, AZ with my two hamster - Jess and Timothy, our fish, our lizard - RJ Lizard., and our cats - Pearl and Grey.
As to hobbies, I enjoy playing sports, attending sporting events, mentoring individuals from financial management to hamsters, building models, photography, travel, multimedia design, managing partner for RJ Hamster, and jazz – smooth jazz to a samba or a bossa nova.
Love and God Bless,

This Bill Could Criminalise Protest in the UK
MAR 24READ IN APP
This week, a piece of legislation is about to pass through Parliament that could quietly reshape the right to protest in the UK.
And hardly anyone is talking about it.
The Crime and Policing Bill, heading for its final reading in the House of Lords this Wednesday, would expand police powers and make it easier to restrict protests — including those carried out by campaign groups.
Even the Equality and Human Rights Commission has warned that parts of the Bill risk creating a “chilling effect” on peaceful protest.
In simple terms:
👉 It could make it easier to shut protests down
👉 It could be used to target campaigners
👉 It could discourage people from speaking out at all
Why this matters
Every major step forward — for animals, the environment, or society more broadly — has relied on people being willing to protest.
If you weaken that right, you weaken everything that depends on it.
This isn’t about one group or one issue.
It’s about whether people in this country can still:
- organise
- challenge injustice
- and be heard
We still have a small window to act
The Bill hasn’t passed yet.
Peers in the House of Lords can still challenge these measures — but only if they feel public pressure.
That’s where you come in.
Add your name to the public petition
Show there is widespread opposition by signing the Change.org petition set up by campaigner Nathan McGovern
If the right to protest can be restricted for one group, it can be restricted for all.
This is one of those moments where silence makes it easier for bad law to pass.
It takes less than 2 minutes to act and it matters.LIKECOMMENTRESTACK
