Born and grew up in rural WV, educated in Ohio, spent 26 years in Toronto, Ontario, migrating to small-town Ohio in 2000. Loving the depth of relationships one can build in a smaller community, loving the fact that I can ride my bike for miles through rolling farm country, proud of two amazing offspring, looking forward to grandchildren, still enjoying my career, staying busy with reading, volunteering, keeping up with far-flung friends and family, proud that I finally made friends with technology, blessed with good health, generally a happy camper.
