The early stuff is easy: Born: Natchitoches, LA - 10/23/1964; Raised in Shreveport, LA until the ripe old age of 23. Went to Southwood High School and Louisiana State University in Shreveport - graduating in 1986.

Went to Work for CUNA Mutual Group in July of 1987 and 14 months later in 1988 moved to St. Louis, Nashville then Birmingham within the year. Spent 14 months in Birmingham before transferring to Madison, WI where I've been ever since.

It's the years since arriving in the Frozen Northland that things have really gotten interesting.
