Life My Spouse Kim and I met when I was directing a production of Grease for the Elyria Summer Theatre Association. She played Jan and we hit it off and have been together since.

If I could improve my home, I'd remodel the attic and add on a family room. My dream home would be 5000 sq ft on 100 acres of empty land. I've learned that it's easier to manage other people's teenagers than my own! If I won $100 million, I'd give $10 million of it to charities for Erb's Palsy research, gifted and talented education programs, the arts and world peace, then spend the rest on a performing arts complex for Field HS, my family and me.
