Who am I?
So much to say with so little space - a devoted father and husband, a runner and life-long learner. Someone who believes that people and life give back to you what you give to them.

Favorite Vacation Spot? Why?
Kauai, Hawaii (though it's been a long time since I've been there). A beautiful island and a place that (when I last visited it at least) wasn't as built up as some other beautiful places.
