Born in Syracuse, grew up in East Syracuse, graduated from SU in 1973, did some graduate work at SU. My Dad was a big SU football fan and my Brother and I were absorbed into the culture. I had the childhood thrill of meeting Ernie and later Floyd when he came to my high school. Got into SU hoops during the Bing years.

After marriage, my wife (SU Masters 1975), kids, and I lived in Camillus until moving to Michigan in 1991. I went home to CNY once or twice a year to visit family and friends until the pandemic hit. Went back this September for the first time in 2 1/2 years. Retired in 2012 and briefly considered moving back but now if I move again it will likely be closer to grandchildren.

My son teaches at the University of Oregon and while out there in November with my Grand-Neice (SU Maxwell grad and SU Equestrian team), we got a two bedroom, 2 bath hotel suite and decorated it with SU posters for a week. When we went to the gym in the morning, I wore my SU shirts and she wore an "Always Reppin' the Cuse" shirt.

Phlebotomists tell me that when I have bloodwork done, I bleed Orange. No kidding, I say.
