Personal
Born in Akron, Ohio. Recently married, my new bride, Donna, brought both a son
and daughter into my life. Tragically, her son and his girlfriend were both
killed by a drunk driver, January 2003. My son and daughter-in-law have two
sons and a daughter (Ben, Sam & Olivia). They live in North Carolina. Our new grandson Caleb John
and granddaughter Abree Marie, daughter Melissa and
son-in-law Ryan live in Sacramento, CA. We have just celebrated our seventh anniversary.
Education
I still attend Akron University, taking Liberal Arts courses, as well as, self
study. I have also attended George Mason
University in Virginia. You're never too old to go back to school. Currently
taking Professional Photography.

Interests
As with everyone, my interests are varied and to some, they may think
boring. Music, Dancing, Computers and
Computing, Oil Painting, Photography, Numismatics (the study of
coins), Railroad Modeling (the historically modeling of a railroad), Reading
(when I get a chance) and much more. Naturally I can only do one thing at a
time, so when the fancy hits, I get the gear out and go for it.
Places of Interest
England, France & the Alps - We had a great time, the people were very
friendly.
Toronto, Ontario - A great city with unlimited entertainment in many
different forms.
