Armed with a sense of urgency, the two best kids in the world, and a fiance that makes my knees buckle with how beautiful she is, I am a very happy man.

I was born in Connecticut, raised in on the east coast, and in Pittsburgh and Chicago, and now call Ohio my home. I work in business development, marketing and communications for Ernst & Young, one of the world's largest consulting and auditing firms. I am a former long-time newspaper reporter, and have also been in public and media relations, as well as an online content producer and a writer.

I play soccer (badly), I run marathons (slowly), and I coach my kids' teams (barely). I love football, kayaking, hanging with my kids, corned beef, cute puppies, and long walks along the beach :)

I have lots of great friends who share my strong overarching zest to live, laugh love (and, sometimes, just sometimes, drink some beer. listen to Bob Marley and sit in the sun on cheap lawn chairs).
