For those of you who don't know me, I hope this
page gives you a little bit of background of who I am and where I
came from. For those of you who do know me...have a good laugh
at my expense!!
I was born and raised in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
(actually Linglestown, but its close enough.) I have 3 brothers and
3 sisters, 4 of which are older and 2 that are younger. My Parents
have been married for 34 years and they have done a pretty darn good
job of raising me.
So I was a dork...big deal !!
My youth was pretty ordinary, played your typical
sports like baseball, basketball and soccer. However, my claim
to fame was the goofy hat that was attached to my head until 8th
grade, hence the nickname "Goofy".
I graduated from Central Dauphin High School In
1994 with two distinguished honors...Prom King and Nicest
legs. Not bad for a dork!!
How much crap can you possibly fit in a dorm!
After high school I went on to Penn State
University to study Landscape Architecture. My parents are
still convinced it was alcohol consumption...but hey, at least I graduated !! The five year program was highlighted with a semester
abroad in Rome. From Rome I visited Germany, Switzerland and
Spain. Switzerland had to be the best...I mean where else can
you ski in powder up to your knees, bungee jump from a gondola,
paraglide from a cliff and mountain bike on some serious single
track trails !!
I guess you could say when I returned from Rome, I
was an extreme sports junky. I learned to scuba dive, kayake
and rock climb. It's a good thing I graduated when I did, I don't
think my parents were going to support me much longer!
After College I moved to Baltimore, where I have
been for the last three years. I recently bought a house 1
block from Camden Yards. Mostly because I love Baltimore, but being
a big stadium buff....Camden yards was a very convincing factor. OK
enough small talk here is the final image.....(mainly because it's
Christie's favorite)
