Welcome to our little corner of the world.

I am luckily married to my best friend for 22 years now. Susan and I met in 1998 and decided to begin our life together. We married in October of 2000 and settled in Central Pennsylvania. 

We decided on Central Pennsylvania for no particular reason other than employment for both of us.

Our local adult kids have blessed us with our grandson Carson, and they live just a few moments away from us.  He has a huge personality and is full of laughter and shenanigans.  There’s no doubt that we are blessed with him in our lives. He has two fur siblings that he loves dearly.

In March of 2022 we were blessed again with our first granddaughter Addison. She lives in South Carolina with her parents and fur siblings Luke, Leia and Han. Addison is the perfect replica of a porcelain baby doll with the bluest eyes. 

In January of 2023 we were fortunate to acquire another addition to the family when our more localish adult children brought home their first fur baby Zoey!  Zoey and her parents are only a short drive away from us. 

Lastly, we have family and three additional adult children, and two grandsons spread across upstate New York. 

In addition, we’ve had several pets over the years that have crossed over the rainbow. Currently, we have our King Charles Spaniel Cavalier Gracie, and she’s ten years old.

We enjoy hiking, golfing, motorcycle riding, music, movies, and cooking dinners together at home or dining out.

“Happiness is our choice”
