I grew up in southern Illinois and moved to the Colorado Springs area in 1989 just before I turned 21.  I became a Black Forest resident in 2006 and hope to remain here until I die.  I’ve been fortunate enough to work as a software developer for the same company since 1997.  Most of you know my wonderful wife Marni who has been associated with Wild Blue for several years now.  We have a 15 year old daughter, Genna, as well as several adult children/grandchildren from prior relationships.  In addition to my Wild Blue activities, I am an avid volleyball player, hiker, Denver Bronco fan, and online gamer.  I began volunteering at Bilbos this past summer and absolutely love supporting the kitties.  Trips to Bilbo’s have become the highlight of my week.
