Life
Howdy All,
I'm happily married to Margaret from Cleveland, OH. We have three wonderful children - Sammy (11), Emily (5) and Rebecca (2). Two other children, Connor and Grace were born in 1998 and 2000, respectively and died in our arms days after birth from severe birth defects. Emily and Rebecca were adopted from Belize.
