I was born in Detroit, MI in 1951. Educated by the Jesuits and graduated from high school in 1969. Attended Wayne State University (named after Mad Anthony Wayne who defended Detroit from the British in the War of 1812).

Graduated from Mercy College of Deetroit in 1975 with a B.Sc. as a Physician Assistant.

Lived in Alaska from 1975 until I got sick of Winter in 2002 and moved to SE Idaho. Not so much Winter here and warm, dry Summers!

Much more Conservative here than in Alaska which surprised me a lot.

Favorite pastimes: four-wheeling, rock-hounding, gold prospecting, astronomy, photography, hiking, X-C skiing, and bugging Liberals.
