There was a suppliers show where I used to work, and one of the suppliers sells digital cameras. This was my free sample from them. Everyone else had pens and paperclips!
I'm originally from Ohio, about 70 miles southwest of Cleveland. I went to College at Valparaiso University (Go Crusaders!) in Valparaiso, Indiana, where I studied Geography and met my future wife, Karen.
Valparaiso is a Lutheran-affiliated school that has consistently been named by U.S. News & World Report as one of the best universities in the midwest in its annual rankings.
Karen and I married June 24, 1989. Our first son, Jacob, was born October 14, 1994, followed by two more boys, Ben on July 2, 1996, and Nick on February 12, 1998.
