Who Am I?
I was born and currently live in Plattsburgh, New York, a nice little city in Northeastern New York. Plattsburgh is on the western shore of Lake Champlain, about 30 miles north-west of Burlington, Vermont and 62 miles south of Montreal, Quebec.

From 1980 to 1985, I lived in Tumwater, Washington, where I attended Tumwater High School. Tumwater is about 60 miles south of Seattle, Washington. Visit Seattle live with The Seattle Space Needle Cam.
After High School, I came back east to attend Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. I graduated in 1989 with a Bachelor's Degree in History, wrote for the "The Dartmouth," (the oldest college newspaper in America), and became a member of Phi Tau. You can see a live picture of the Dartmouth Green from the tower of Baker Library by visiting the Dartmouth Webcam.
Later, I earned an M.A. in Rhetoric and Communication Studies at the University of Virginia. UVA was founded by Thomas Jefferson. Students, faculty and alumni will never let you forget it.
I am now the Executive Director of the North Country Center for Independence in Plattsburgh, New York ... a local not-for-profit disability service and advocacy organization governed and staffed primarily by people with disabilities. To learn more about Independent Living Centers and other disability issues, visit the National Council on Independent Living and the New York State Independent Living Council.
