edit data

I grew up in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and moved to Michigan in 1988 to attend Davenport University’s Paramedic school. I reside in Kent City, Michigan, with my wife of 32 years. We have an adult son and daughter who both have graduated college and live out of town.
I am a retired Firefighter/Paramedic who works full-time in Information Systems for a major West Michigan company.
In my off time, I enjoy traveling to unique places, family time, and my two dogs, who keep life fun.
