More about me

I grew up east of Pittsburgh, PA in a town called Turtle Creek. I'm a Steeler and Pirates fan. I'm also a "Creeker" (our high school mascot before we merged with another school). I'm a Wildlife Biologist by profession (Appropriate considering the town where I grew up and our high school mascot.). I currently work for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on a National Wildlife Refuge. I have been married to the same wonderful woman for 25 years and have been blessed with two beautiful, thoughtful daughters. My hobby is photography. I do it in whatever little spare time I have. My children say I'm 8 going on 6, so you know I'm young at heart. I enjoy a good joke and others say I have an infectious laugh. Feel free to send me good jokes.

Me (Just joking folks- my sick sense of humor). I give to a number of charities, but do not have a favorite.
