I was born and raised in Rochester and have lived here for most of my life. I'm an Air Force Veteran and served honorably. I met my wife while living in Denver and we've been married for 30 years. We eventually moved back to Rochester because it's a good place to raise a family (how many times have you heard that about Rochester! It's true!). My wife and I have three kids whom we love and are proud of.

The kids and I are Catholic Christians and we came back home a few years ago. Preceeding my return to the Faith, I was transformed from a liberal, anything goes type person, to a politically conservative leaning person. I can thank my brothers and Free Republic for this change of heart! I'm also one of the founders of the RochesterConservative website and am doing my best to spread the message of political conservatism, patriotism and the support of our brave women and men in the US Armed Forces!
