I was born in Houston, Texas and was raised a small town in North Texas you've more than likely have never heard of. Some trivia about me: I've either lived in or visited the four largest cities in America and I've lived in and traveled to four different countries in the world (not including where I'm from and layovers). One last bit of trivia that's relevant to my work: I come from a line of teachers. In fact, everyone in my family that I have known in my life taught in some facet from university level all the way to elementary school.

I've been a huge fan of all the pro sports teams in Houston since the Oilers were still around. As you may know they abandoned the great city of Houston and are now the Titans of Tennessee. I'm not bitter about being forced to cheer for the only Texas team, the Cowboys, for six years at all; but I digress. I love the Astros, Rockets, Texans, and Dynamo. Kudos to any who know what sports team the last one listed represents (without searching on the web, ha!).

I've been married for over two years, and my wife is from Cebu, Philippines. We have one son who is six months old. Whenever we have some free time, we enjoy watching movies that we haven't downloaded from a website. I'm looking forward to learning a lot about you, and having some great conversations!
