About Me

"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it. - Mark Twain"

Hi, I'm Ted. I'm a Systems Engineer in the Houston area. I moved down to Texas from Upstate NY in 1996 with my wife, Cyndie. We have a little boy, Connor, who was just born on September 7. I'm also a martial arts student, with a black belt in karate. I am presently studying Aikido and Tai Chi. I've studied assorted martial arts since I graduated high school in 1991. I love to hike and camp which I have been doing recently with a new group of people I just met called the Woodlands Hiking Club. I also play the alto sax in the Woodlands Concert Band.
