About Me...
I grew up in the Philadelphia suburbs and will always consider myself a "Philly Guy" at heart. Say what you will about the city, but those were my formative years and I'd never change a thing about it. After my youth in Ridley Township, I went to college nearby -- Widener University -- got married to a local girl. We settled in Springfield DELCO, had two kids, and eventually made our way west to the Pittsburgh suburb of Washington, PA. After 18 years, we moved home again, back to Springfield, living just around the corner from where 'Marshall Connors' and 'Terry O'Hara' lived.
My 'day' job has been a career in accounting and finance, working 30+ years at a variety of companies, both public and private.
