Personal notes
What’s there to say… I’m a Business Geek, Nomad, Aging Metal Head, Nerd, & Coffee Addict. Plus the only big guy at Hot Yoga.
A father of two adult daughters and 3 “Grand Dogs” I’m native of Pittsburgh PA. My Father was a businessman and my Mother a secretary turned stay at home Mom who insisted she must have brought home “some hippie’s kid from the hospital” when I was young (actually well into my 30’s). Ironically because I was just like her, stubborn, strong willed, and opinionated. Fortunately my parents invested heavily into my education something I am grateful for to this day.
Equally at home at sporting events, the theater or metal concerts my tastes like my look varies from a bow tie clad nerd to tattered Levi’s and black boots.
My volunteer work centers around animal rescue and other communities of choice.
My pronouns are He/Him.
