    My father was in the Air Force, so we moved around a lot. After HS, I did a bit of college before starting my own company with two friends. While doing this, I met my wife, and became an instant Dad. As of August '04, my kids are ages 14 (boy), 11 (boy) and 7 (girl). In '97 I left RTD and did some consulting for a brief period before taking a full time position with Frontier Communications, which was purchased by Global Crossing Telecommunications in 1999. I am currently Vice President of Network Architecture & Long Range Planning, a sort of network technology strategy group. The position suits my creativity and day dreamer profile very nicely.

    I used to get in trouble for day dreaming when I was in school. Perhaps it is rather ironic that the very thing that got me in trouble then is part of what makes me well suited for a visionary role, or perhaps there is no irony at all. Society has always rated hard work above all else. How does that saying go? "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." A visionary never get any credit until their visions become true, often considered crack pots for their silly ideas. So anyway, I guess I am still a day dreamer at large. Some things will never change.
