Bio
Grew up in Miami as the troubled middle child of the greatest family in the world; now find much comfort being sandwiched between my four fabulous siblings. Went to college in the midwest (Earlham College) where I met and later married my best friend. Played varsity volleyball at EC and started in the NAIA Nationals as a freshman (though had to give it up a year later as it wreaked havoc on my joints). Was a Psych/Soc major, though later discovered my knack for finance while working in Indiana and got my MBA. Worked in the toy business for 6 wild years (Ohio & Minnesota) then via mergers and takeovers ended up outside of Columbus, Ohio. Dragged my dear wife and son around the Midwest with me climbing the corporate ladder before settling down and designing + building our home on 5 acres. Son #2 came along shortly thereafter and has lived here his whole life. Worked my way up to VP Finance for a manufacturing company until "retirement" for health reasons after being with the firm for 15 years. (13 surgeries in 7 years during this last stint, with the scars to prove it -- due to rheumatoid arthritis since age 13) Devoted family man who loves photography, watching my sons play volleyball, and good movies. Only one of my family not living in North Carolina (all migrated there from Florida after my father -- who continues to be my inspiration -- died suddenly at age 53). I miss them all dearly and wish I could see them more often. Love spending quality time with the greatest wife on the planet and two of the best lads anywhere. My body keeps falling apart, but I am cheerfully enjoying the ride!
