Welcome to my personal web site!

Here you'll learn all about me: my interests and hobbies, the people in my family, my pets, and more. I've even included my resume and a list of my favorite links to other sites.

On this home page, the "doorway" to my site, I'll introduce myself and talk about my reasons for wanting a web site. I might put a picture of myself on this page...or just a picture that I especially like.

Please sign my guestbook with any comments or reactions you have to my site. You can also contact me privately. I love to get mail!

I hope to update this page often with new photos.

What's New?

Here I might add an entry whenever I make an update to my web site. Where appropriate, I'll include a link to the change. For example:

1/1/00 - Added new photos of my most recent vacation to Italy to the "Vacation Photo Album" page.
