Daughter Erin is married, mother of two beautiful daugthers (I'm a grampa!)and a middle school science teacher in Topeka, Kansas; and our son David is a computer systems engineer at Cerner, Inc., in Kansas City, MO.

Initially working as a legal assistant for a work comp attorney, I have been working as a paralegal for a class action firm for going on 6 years.
