I am originally from the East Coast, Massachusetts, and now live in the Pacific Northwest.  Washington State is now ‘home’ along with my wife Kay, our two daughters, and a son. Family time is special, it can be as simple as a conversation around the dinner table sharing stories and memories of my growing up which often turns into laughter and comments such as, “Dad, that was you?? Oh…my gosh…!”  These times are just as special as the other adventures and family trips we have taken locally, out of state on a drive to Wyoming and Montana or a trip to Europe.   I value my time in being outdoors and taking the opportunity to explore and savor all nature has to offer…the nearby rivers for some fly fishing, the hiking trails through the woods and mountains or a quiet run or bike ride along the farms and fields. Life is an adventure with so much more yet to discover and share.
