Wow Maggie.... Thanks for the pressure. LOL I am cursed with saying whatever comes to mind.

So here goes.


First, I am Hannah's Father. After that I am a "high tech redneck". I am part owner of a technology services company. We do general IT work for small business clients. The IT Department for companies to small to have their own.


Before this I was a Windows Server admin for the PA State Medicaid System. (Thus my 'love' for all things government health care.) I have also cooked in all manner of restaurants. From Perkins to fancy gourmet places. I also served in the US Army for 12 Years. 4 active years on my original stint. 8 in the Guard, one of them active for a deployment to Bosnia. Some people say they learned everything they needed to know in Kindergarten. I learned everything I needed to know in the Army.

There is 5 years of post-secondary education in there as well. All in history. Dunno what for.... Never used it to make money, just to win at Trivial Pursuit and to win debates.

My favorite job, by far, is being Hannah's Daddy.

How'd I do Maggie? LOL
