About Me

My interests are rather eclectic.
Right now I'm very much into caving. I'm a member of The Philadelphia Grotto (www.phillygrotto.org) and The National Speleological Society (www.caves.org). It's very exhilarating to see the world from the inside out. I have done some backpacking and hope to get back there again someday.
My car is an old '92 Jeep Wrangler. Summer time is spent with the top down and the winter in 4 wheel drive. Awful on gas, but a lot of fun.
Some folks call me a “health nut”, but I only have this one body to last my whole life. I try to eat properly, but still enjoy food. I do a structured exercise (working out at the gym) which changes constantly. Change is good. Keeps the muscles growing and adapting to new situations. And of course, recreational exercise, which for now is caving.
My most dedicated interest lays with my family. My wife, Roseanne, is beautiful, the rock in my life, and the love of my life. She's the center of my revolving and evolving interests. Always encouraging me to expand my horizons and explore new frontiers. She's the reason I am able to do everything else in life. Love ya', Honey Pie...
