I live in Pittsburgh's Chapel Harbor neighborhood steps from the Allegheny River where we can indulge our latest passion kayaking. My wife and I chase our 3 children around. I enjoy being a dad, as well as running, hiking, reading, cooking (especially creating home made ice cream), travel, and driving our Mini Cooper. I ran the Harrisburg Marathon in fall 2005, raising more than $3,000 for Gaylord Hospital in Wallingford, CT.
