Self-Description: You know, as a child, I HATED my red hair. I was the only one in my
family with hair like this, the only kid on the block with hair like
this, and the only kid in school with this stupid hair! I hated it
because I was painfully shy and self-conscious - and a headful of bright
red hair is the LAST thing a shy kid needs. It's taken a couple of
decades, but I actually like my hair now (and wouldn't you know it -
it's turning gray). It sets me apart from the crowd (although not on
this web site) and is an integral part of who I am. So, who am I? Well,
I'm a father first off. Although my boys are currently living with
their Mom. I just moved to Philadelphia to be a bit closer to them and
to make day trips possible. Before that, it was a long, long drive (or
a short plane ride). When I'm not being a Dad, I'm a scientist - a
biologist to be more specific. That's pretty much the rest of my
existence these days. When I don't have my boys with me, I spend most
of my waking hours in the lab or on the computer in my office. I
suppose you could say that I like what I do. Or maybe I'm just avoiding
having a "real" life. One of these days, I'll have to figure that one
out...
Children: 2 boys - a handful at times!
Interests: Music is probably one of my greatest loves - I listen to all
kinds. On one end of the spectrum - when I lived in Boston, I had a subscription
to the BSO, so I'd attend the symphony just about every week. On pretty much the
"opposite" end of the musical spectrum, on Wednesday nights I'd occassionally
head over to ManRay, a local club, for "Fuse", the once-a-week night of
industrial, EBM, and synthpop dance music. Something else that I look forward
to: a good bottle of wine, some fine food and stimulating conversation. When
all three come together there's nothing quite like it. And of course, there's
nothing better in this world than ice cream (or some other tasty dessert). So
much for my waistline!
