Okay, so here's some info about me:

 

I grew up in Maple Heights, Ohio, a suburb on the southeast side of Cleveland.  Okay, okay, I heard the "mistake on the lake" comment!  (You think you're sooooo funny, don't you??)  Well, enough already!  Cleveland is a terrific town.  Click here for a picture of me.

 

After graduating from Maple Heights High School in 1993, I spent my formative undergraduate years at The University of Toledo (shown here), which is located in a city probably best known for it's minor league baseball team (the Mudhens) and being the fictional home of Klinger on M*A*S*H.  (Yeah, like you care.)  Personally, I think Toledo is a great town, so if you're ever cruising through northwest Ohio, be sure to stop for awhile.

 

Since I just couldn't get enough of that darn book-learnin', I headed off to the Lone Star State for graduate school at Texas A&M University.  College Station is a pretty cool place.  Gig 'em, Ags!

 

Anyway, a few years ago I earned my Master's of Public Service and Administration degree  from Texas A&M's George Bush School of Government and Public Service.  (Now you must call me "Master"...heheheh!)  I got to meet the former prez on several occasions...he's quite personable, and I must say I was impressed.  For more pictures from my days at the Bush School, click here.

 

After graduation, I spent a few months relaxing, running, coaching, and doing temp work.  But I now have a "real" job and am happily living in Madison, Wisconsin. But in case you've got a really FABULOUS job to offer me (or would just like to learn more about me professionally)...check out my resume!
