Narrative:

I was flying in left seat as captain, copilot (part-timer) was in right seat flying the aircraft. I was handling radios. We were VFR into hayward, ca. Boy handed us off to tower. I reported our position as southeast and tower told us to enter a right base for runway 28L. I replied that we were better set up for a straight-in or right base entry. Tower told us to report a 5 mi final for runway 28L. I then became totally immersed in instructing this copilot and never made a call at 5 mi. We subsequently landed and tower told us to exit the runway, contact ground and then telephone tower. I told them we were a quick turn and could I call them from our final destination. At that time the ground controller told me they just wanted to advise me that I had landed west/O a clearance. I was too shocked to even reply. I didn't realize until then what had happened. I had recently gone through some serious personal problem which resulted im my wife and I separating. Due to those circumstances, I was under a lot of stress and emotional strain. I, as chief pilot, took myself off of flying for 3 weeks until things stabilized and I felt my mind was on my work when it needed to be. Although I felt I was 100 percent into the flight, this incident proved otherwise.
