More About Me
Childhood...
I was born in southeastern Pennsylvania in 1975 and grew up in Warminster, Pennsylvania (about 45 minutes north of Philadelphia).

the house I grew up in (and where my parents still live) |
My childhood was relatively uneventful (which I suppose is a good thing!). I lived in the same house throughout my entire childhood and my parents remained together. Apparently, the only big adjustment for me as a kid was going from being an only child to having to share my parents' attention when my younger brother Kevin was born when I was three. Family vacations primarily consisted of going to Disney World (we pretty much went every other year from the time I was 6 until I was about 16) and an occasional day or two in Ocean City, New Jersey, or camping in the Poconos during the summer. When I was a teenager, we visited the Bahamas, St. Maarten and Bermuda. In my spare time as a teenager, I made some extra money by babysitting for the children of family friends and neighbors.
I attended Alta S. Leary Elementary School, Log College Junior High School (now Log College Middle School) and William Tennent High School (all public schools in the Centennial School District in Warminster, Pennsylvania) where I was in the "gifted" program from 2nd grade through 12th grade. I was the type of kid who always really enjoyed school and I graduated from high school sixth in a graduating class of 438 students.
