I was born in Denver and live in Boulder, Colorado and have had my residence within 25 miles of where I live now for my entire life, not counting 2 years in Saudi Arabia and now off the Brittany coast near St. Malo on Isle Cézembre. I am married with one male dandelion. I am an active member of Kiwanis, and recently organized the CU Trivia Bowl for 2005.
