About Me











I'm more than a blurb on a page.

You can learn a lot about a person by his actions and associations. So, here's a snapshot of my life:



    I've played the trumpet since 1982 and am pretty good.
    I'm an Eagle Scout with palms.
    I was a member of the National Honor Society in HS and Psi Chi National Honor Society in college
    I graduated from Penn State and am a lifetime member of the Alumni Association and a season ticket holder.
    I've been a family therapist, teacher, manager and now data analyst as careers.
    I have an expert rating for rifle shooting from the NRA.
    I'm a Eucharistic Minister in the Episcopal Church.
    I was the State Commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
    I am the Secretary and a Past Master of my Masonic Lodge.
    I am a Past Grand of my Odd Fellow Lodge.
    I am currently the head of five fraternal & service organizations.
    I am a Fire Police Officer.
    I was a write-in candidate for Mayor of my town in 2005, but lost by 14 votes to the incumbent.
    I will be a candidate for Mayor of my town in 2009.
    I am restoring a home built in 1900.
    I participate in Civil War Re-enacting as a Confederate soldier.
