I was born in Beloit, Wisconsin in 1964. My family lived near South Beloit, Illinois, where I attended Prairie Hill School from kindergarten through seventh grade. I was in Cub Scouts, played softball, and collected beer cans with my friend Steve. In 1977 we moved to Sextonville, Wisconsin. My main activity there was hanging out at my friend Dave's house. They had cable TV and Dave's mom, Mrs. C., always had cookies around for us to eat. After high school, I attended UW Center Richland where I played intramural football and worked as a math tutor. I then transferred to UW LaCrosse where my favorite activity was "Happy Hour" every Friday at the Jack of Diamonds bar on Third Street.. While in college I made many great friends, drank many cheap beers, and managed to graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Microbiology. Before getting my first "professional" job, I had many other jobs including farm work, working at a car wash, flipping burgers at a bar/restaurant, and cooking chicken at Kentucky Fried Chicken. I have worked as an analytical chemist since 1989 and am currently employed as a Senior Chemist for the State of Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection.
Interests of mine include genealogy, photography, web page design, reading suspense and science fiction/fantasy novels, comics, Looney Tunes cartoons, gardening, bird feeding and watching, listening to classic rock music, watching the Chicago Cubs try to win a pennant (maybe next year), watching the Miami Dolphins try to win a Super Bowl (again, maybe next year) and organoleptic testing of malt beverages (or more simply, beer drinking). I have also served on the church council of Trinity Lutheran Church, and helped coach my son's T-ball, minor league, and little league teams. Here are links to a few other pages I have made:
