I live in Cleveland, OH and work as a developer in Information Technology.  Two dogs and a cat allow me to live with them, but only if I provide food.  One dog is balancing between the couch and my shoulder as I type this.  She’s trying to reach my sandwich.

I have Activity ADD, so the things I do during my non-work hours change regularly.  The things that have remained consistent are kickboxing and yoga.  Kickboxing and yoga seem to be at odds with each other in a philosophical sense, but they are both wonderful ways to work out stress.   My love of animals has also remained consistent throughout my life.  I have a hate-hate relationship with running.

Through the years I’ve had several people tell me I should share my writing, but I am an extremely private and somewhat shy person so the idea of letting anyone in scares the crap out of me.

I have a confession to make.  My favorite quote is actually from an episode of ‘That 70s Show’, but both of the quotes I listed were ones that I heard in my yoga class right before I began writing this bio.  I liked them and it felt more grown-up to not quote a TV sit-com.
