I'm a project manager in the software development area. I mostly do consulting work so I've been in 37 different states. Colorado is my love, followed by Iowa, and Kentucky. I have 3 boys all out of college now and 2 are married. My hobbies are stained glass (I've taken ribbons in regional shows!), whitewater kayaking, vegetable gradening, and playing Civilization on my computer.
