Personal Info
My wife Anne and I live in Oak Ridge, Tennessee with
our son Jonathan, our daughter Laura, and dogs Elmer and Pepper. We've been married for nine years now, and are enjoying our time together. Anne works remotely for Sodexho,
in Rockville, Maryland, and I work for a contractor of the Department of Energy, in Oak Ridge. In my spare time, I enjoy working on my 1999 Firebird, and
taking it 1/4 mile drag racing, or riding my motorcycle. Anne tends to steer clear of the garage, but
she is a wonderful singer, and has been part of many choir and singing groups.
Before living in Oak Ridge, we lived in Knoxville for seven months, a house in Gaithersburg, Maryland for six and a half years, and before that, we lived in a condo for two years, in Silver Spring, Maryland (Aspen Hill
area). I owned a 1995 Mustang, which I modified to death, including such
modifications as adding a supercharger, and converting it to
manual transmission.
Going back in time even further, I lived with two friends from high school (Eric and Josh) in a house in Silver Spring. Before that, the three of us lived in an apartment. We all worked for the same company for most of our three years together, and we had some really great times! I spent most of my time either hanging out with friends, working on my car, working at work, or going to school. I went to college part time for a zillion years, starting with Montgomery College, and continuing on to the University of Maryland and finally University of Maryland University College. I began working on a degree in psychology, but later switched to Computer and Information Science (CMIS), with a psychology minor.
I was born, raised and lived in Montgomery County, Maryland for most of my life, going to Forest Knolls Elementary, Eastern Middle School and Montgomery Blair High School. I met a lot of good friends during my grade school years, most of which I've managed to keep in touch with. I met my wife in high school, in the spring of 1992, when I was a senior and she was a freshman.
News
Our recent move to Oak Ridge has been great, and we're enjoying the new
community already. We bought a house in July and will probably spend the rest of the summer unpacking!
My close friend Brian F. Schreurs passed away on December 8th, 2006, near his home town of Morgantown, WV. It was a tragic auto accident and his death was a complete shock. This was a huge loss for me, and it has been a tough time for everyone, including his wife of almost nine years, his family, and all of his friends.
I will miss you Brian... You were my best friend.
Anne has been enjoying her job, getting to travel every so often, and I'm doing Linux administration for DOE, mainly working with Red Hat systems.
In September 2006 I attended the International Motorcyle Speed Trials by BUB, which is a motorcycle-only racing event held at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. It was a grueling but fun trip across the country with two friends. I managed 158 mph on my Sprint ST!
I'm still having fun with the Firebird, but bought a 2006 Triumph Sprint ST motorcycle in October 2005 (the 2005 Kawasaki Ninja 500R was sold!), and I've had my motorcycle license since July 2004 (starting with a 1986 Honda Rebel 250). The Sprint is a great sport-tourer. Anne is driving her 2005 Mazda 6 Sport Wagon. It's a great vehicle to haul around two kids, two dogs, and all of their stuff!
