The first place to start this section is with me. I was born on August 3rd, 1968, in Alton, Il. I technically don't live in Alton, but that's where I consider my home town. I graduated from Alton High School in 1986, receiving my numbers and varsity "A" for roaming the sidelines on the football team. You may ask "What position did you play", and my answer would be "I didn't" The official term for what I did was called "Manager", but when you're getting stuff for the players, you know what I did. As far as brothers & sisters go, I don't have any, but I do have many cousins that I grew up with.

The next section would be my parents. My dad, Wayne, is retired from the Olin Corporation, where he worked for over 30 years. My mom, Doris, goes to craft shows in the metro area throughout the year, making baked goods. She's done this for about 15 years or so. They've been married since March 28th, 1965.

The final section here involves our pets. Being that we live out in the country, we've had more than our share of unwanted pets left on the road by our house.

Some of those pets are pictured here, while many others have come and gone through the years. Some only stayed very briefly, while others have become life long pets.
