I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. I attended high school at Salisbury School, Salisbury, CT.  In highschool I played football, hockey and lacrosse.  After highschool I came back home to Texas where I attended Southwestern University (Go Bucs!) in Georgetown, Texas, where I received my Bachelors degree in Business Administration.  I was also a charter member of the Southwestern Lacross team which became the 1st NCAA Varsity team in Texas in 2010.

After college I worked for the Coastal Corporation in Kansas City where I was the Area Sales Manager of 12 convenience store.  I have many interesting stories about my experiences managing those stores.  Still young and in my late twenties early thirties I went to back to Texas to San Antonio.  There I worked for Citibank in their Business and Professional Department, where Citi made loans to businesses.  It was at Citi that I met my wife.  At the time she worked for Citi in their cards division in Sioux Falls, SD then transferred to San Antonio; I was the first person she met at the Citibank location in San Antonio. 

We left San Antonio in 1995 and moved 70 miles North where we currently live in Austin, Texas.  I has a ten year career at Dell Computer where I worked in their Finance Department.  At one point I was the freight audit manager where we audited and paid close to 600K freight bills.  We had a very indepth process to complete the task of freight audit and payment.

My wife and I have two wonderful girls Katharine and Caroline.  We are very involved at their school Hill Elementary, I am a Dillo Dad and my wife does countless activities with the PTA.  I love to spend time with my girls; during the week you can often find me having lunch with them at Hill or doing a Dillo Dads project.  In the spring when kickball is in season you can often find me on the sideline coaching one of my girls teams, usually the Porcupines.
