About Professor Newcomb

I am one of five Adjunct Professors who work directly with the College of Sciences, of San Diego State University.

I am the Chairman and major member of World Wide Assets LLC.

I am the proud father of three incredible kids, Jeremiah is a graduate from UCSD and attending USD Law School, Kimberly is in her second year of college at a Grosmont, and my high school son, Timothy is one of the best students I have ever seen, passing AP Chemistry in 11th grade. My wife of 29 years does not like things posted on the web, so she is missing a web presence to link to. God bless her.
