About Me

• I belong to generation X. Which isn't saying they own me, but more that I grok my generation.

  I was born in West Virginia, raised in western Pennsylvania. I'm the son of divorced and remarried parents whom I love very much.

  I grew up Catholic and very connected with the concept of God. I opened my heart and mind to other ways of thinking and chose to let the good intentions and energies of many religions influence my thoughts, feelings and actions. I consider myself Hindu because Hinduism is the only religion I know that not only tollerates other religions but actually embraces them and their teachers.

  I'm married, have two children, and two cats.

  I work as an Electrical Engineer for a semiconductor manufacturer.

  Computers are a passion.

  Writing is a compulsion.

WORK
