I love to spend time with my best friend and wife, Kimberly, read challenging fiction and nonfiction by great writers, and play with our two dogs. Running a close second in friendship are my two daughters, Jana and Sara, who never cease to amaze us as they grow up into the smart, funny, beautiful treasures they are.

My extended family are some of the most interesting people on planet Earth. Whether from my side or my wife's, each and every one has a fascinating story to tell. I hope geni.com helps us all get our stories together in one place.

NOTE 3/5/2013: I have noticed that Geni.com is not social media-- though it allows intersections with most of the popular social media formats. Work done here is sporadic, often very brief with long periods (even years) intervening between sessions. I have received very kind messages and notes from people on the "guestbook" feature, and completely missed them. For that, I apologize, and would urge that those desiring more immediate contact use the "traditional" (can we use that term yet?) social media I have listed on my contact information.
