I am happily married going on 30 years. My wife and I enjoy time with our friends and outdoor activies such as camping. Wehave two adult children who in their own right are very successful and we are very proud of them. On a kind of sad note we lost a daughter to a rare and severe case of Lissencephally, you can read more about this above.
I have sung in barbershop quartets and currently enjoy writing and giving speeches in my Toastnasters club, the Gettysburg Addressers of which I am a past President. I use these skills professionally when I MC wedding receptions for my wife who provides DJ services. This is a lot of fun and done weekends in our spare time.
My robust work experience includes twenty-one years of hands on Accounting, Purchasing and management duties and 13 years of computer system design and maintenance including end user training in a classroom environment. I am both privileged and blessed to be provided with this unique set of skills.
