Growing up and living in Syracuse, within the"Central New York" area has given me great opportunities in enjoying the outdoors and the pleasures it brings. Although, for a period in my life I lived for six years in Ocala, Florida, which was a good opportunity to experience the way of life within the South. Sure miss those boiled peanuts. Residing now in a town named Chittenango, New York, just outside of Syracuse, New York, I enjoy living along the "Erie Canal" where I can walk, jog, snowmobile, and enjoy the outdoors, which I have always appreciated. I have always enjoyed sports, especially football and hockey, which I played when younger. And yes, do not leave out lacrosse. Of course, I am also an avid fan of Syracuse University sports. I love working out at the fitness clubs I attend, and I am an avid fan of sports cars, which I find to be a lot of fun. As for my education I have an AA in General Studies and an AAS in Computer Programming and Applications. I am very technical, which finds me reading technical writings quite often. Have been in the sales and marketing of numerous products and services for most of my life. I must say that if there was a Doctorate awarded for the school of "hard knocks", I would be the first in line.
