I grew up in West Chester, Ohio and graduated from Lakota High School in 1988.  My parents moved to Massachusetts that fall to pursue a job opportunity.

I studied Architecture at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia and transferred to the College of Architecture and Planning at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.  I left the college in 1991 and moved back in with the folks in Marshfield, Massachusetts. 

I took a job with Sterling Recourses, LTD in Hingham, Massachusetts and started attending night school at Massasoit Community College in Brockton.  In 1993 I was hired by Albert J. Tonry & Co., Inc. in Quincy, a job I hold to this day.  I am the Bond Department Manager, were I write Contract Bonds.  I continued night classes at Massasoit and then transferred to Eastern Nazarene College, for an accelerated program in Business Administration.

I completed the courses at Eastern Nazarene in 1995 and transferred the credits back to Massasoit.  In June of 1996, after completing a semester at Massasoit, I graduated with High Honors with my Associates Degree, which I transfered to Eastern Nazarene.  I then received my BSBA from Eastern Nazarene, graduating Cum Laude.  To summarize, I attended college for eight years, full time.  I attended four schools in three states on two majors.

In 1998, I bought a small house near the beach in Marshfield, Massachusetts not far from my parents.  My brother Corey told me it was my responsibility to buy "the dog" as he was not in a situation to keep one.  My true love of hunting and hunting dogs started there.

In 2006 I got sick of being single and dangled what little I had for bait on a hook and threw it into the online dating pool.  Little did I know that an equine vet from Maine would bite. We bougt a 200 year old, 20 acre farm in Shapliegh in December and got married in June 2007.  It's true that smart men marry smart women.  Check the blog for current news regarding animals, family etc.

My brother, Corey, lives in Hanover, Massachusetts with his wife, Michelle.  He has four kids, Tyler, Austin, Garrett and Anna.  Corey also owns a convenience store in Hanover.  Corey keeps two hunting dogs, a Brittany named Emma, and a Red Setter named Walker.

My brother, Sean, lives in Marshfield, Massachusetts with his wife, Rachel, and their daughters, Lillian and Violet.  Sean is a Sheriff's Deputy for Plymouth County.  He's a "CSI" guy who gets to deal with crime and accident scenes.  Sean has a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon named Norman.

My parents, Dave and Georgia, still live in the house they originally bought in Marshfield.  Dad is looking forward to retirement.  Mom works for an insurance agency in Quincy.
