I have been married to my wife, Nicole, for two years today. It has been an exciting adventure and I am looking forward to many more years together.

I had a conversation with a staff member in the hallway this afternoon that was too good not to share. I had been thinking about a conversation that I had just had on the phone and he could tell that I was a bit troubled. He stopped and asked how I was doing. I said […]
