I was born in Newport News, Virginia in 1975 and currently live in Simpson, Pennsylvania with my wife [[Khouria]] Nicole. Our first child, Evangelia, was born March 5, 2007.

I'm a Southerner by birth and at heart, though I do wish there were more proper bakeries south of the Mason-Dixon Line. That's possibly one of the major things Yankees have gotten right. (They tend to do autumn fairly splendidly, too, though the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia can give 'em all a run for their money.)
