Originally raised in the suburban Philadelphia, PA area, I have lived on both the East Coast (NYC) and West Coast (LA), and in many states in between, as well as in Mexico and the Caribbean. I moved many times over the course of my career managing major commercial construction projects, such as the Trump Castle in Atlantic City, NJ and the W.T. Young Library at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, KY. I was the winner of my age group in the 2016 Long Beach Triathlon in California. I'm a student of history and am well read, principally in non-fiction and mostly on the topic of the Revolutionary period of the United States. I also consider myself an outdoorsman who enjoys hunting, fishing, sailing, scuba diving, and skiing.
