Additional Information:

I have a twin brother who is a United Methodist worship arts pastor and a sister who is an engineer, formerly with the Afghanistan water reclamation and sanitation project (funded by USA ID). My father retired approximately 20 years ago and now lives in Kingsburg, CA. My mother died at the end of May, 2006 after a long fight with myelodysplasia. 

I love walking, exercising, singing, swimming, strawberry and blueberry smoothies.
