I was born and raised in New York's Queens County and now live in suburban Suffolk on Long Island a long stone's throw from my birthplace. Married 31 years to my college sweetheart, I have two kids, both in college, though only one is still home. Right now I'm putting food on the table as a manager of a software engineering team, but in the past have also worked as a pilot and as a musician, both of which remain passions though I haven't flown a plane in a number of years.
Now that my kids are grown and having married young I'm looking forward to spending many upcoming years
travelling with the missus, going back to school and finally being able to again afford to indulge my love for things with wings.
