My simple little story started on April 25, 1977 in the town of Lancaster, PA. Born to two of the most wonderful parents in the world. After a few months, my family moved back to Pittsburgh to be closer to our extended family. I am the middle child between my older sister Michelle, my mentor in life, and my younger brother Anthony, my best friend.

Most of my life revolved around soccer and reading. If I wasn't doing one, I was doing the other.  When I was about 13 years old, my family got our first computer, an Apple IIc.  I don't think a day has gone by since where I haven't worked on a computer :-D

After high school, I went to Penn State, where of course I met Nelie. She truly the perfect love.  Since college we spent a long year apart, but now we are together in Chicago. Soon we will get to spend our lives together forever.
