My childhood dream was to become an astronaut and live on the moon.

In my spare time, I enjoy building things, playing with my kids, writing, designing websites and spending time with my family.

My favorite place I have traveled is the Grand Canyon. The shear size and beauty of that place is absolutely amazing.

When it comes to sports, I love everything about them. I regularly play soccer and golf and ski on occasion. Steelers, Pirates, Penguins, and, of course, Penn State, are my favorites!

You may not know this about me, but in high school, I was the president of the chess club.  Yeah, I was cool.

My favorite jobs growing up were a lifeguard at a state park and a ski technician at a ski resort. They didn't pay much money, but each job had its own special perks.
