Foster was born Nov. 13, 1959, in Palo Alto, CA raised in Squaw Valley, attending Lake Tahoe Elementary School which set the stage for his love of the Lake. He met Janet (Roberts) Mullen and married in Glenbrook, NV; she was undeniably the love of his life. They have 2 sons, Larry Roberts and Jordan Mullen.

Foster was the owner and President of QM Corporation, a multifaceted resort and development company. He considered his staff his family. Most of all he was a loving and generous man and we will miss his brilliance, his wonderful sense of humor, and that great smile.
