About Me / My Family:
My wife Diane teaches fifth grade in Lansing schools. Our daughter Linnea is the Archives Librarian at St Francis University in Joliet, IL. Our son Jesse does data projects for me in Lansing. Diane and I have siblings in Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, and Missouri. We enjoy an annual spring break week in Holmes Beach, Florida where the Gulf of Mexico is two blocks West, the schoolyard for Frisbee is two blocks North, and the doughnut store is two blocks South.
