I have grown up in NoVa and doubt I’ll ever leave. My wife, Cindy (my baby) and I have become great friends with Rhonda and Chuck. It is a friendship we truly cherish. A few years ago I installed windows and doors (and am still installing windows) on their beautiful house. I followed the Gulf to Goat and admired the dedication of all the guys. It says something about the Naval Academy that I want to be a part of. I can’t tell you the difference between rowing, curling or sculling, yet! Chuck will show me. At 68 my body has held up well so I feel I can contribute to this great cause. 

Middle child of a large Catholic family, I grew up in the woods of Lake Accotink. I still catch bass and play ice hockey there every year. I have many friends to this day from Ravensworth Elementary, North Springfield, Little League, and Robinson High School. I started installing windows and doors in 1977 and have been self-employed my whole life.  I may never retire, but I do play a lot of golf and like to see live music at small venues around here. 

My father played baseball for the Dodgers’ minor league teams and as his family increased and his batting average decreased, he joined the FBI and that’s how we arrived in the DC area. He was a special agent and won the batting championship for J Edgar Hoover‘s prized baseball team many times. My mom was the kindest, prettiest woman and raised all six of us kids w/love. Our family has grown to more than 50 beautiful people mostly in this area. I’m lucky.

 
 I was married 25 years to a girl from my high school until she passed from cancer in 2012. Our beautiful daughter Marygrace lives in San Diego and his 38 years old. I never thought I would date again until I went on a job and knocked on the customers door to give an estimate. The girl who answered the door said I haven’t seen a cowboy hat since Oklahoma. She was organizing for the homeowner and is now my present wife of 11 years. She had lost her husband to cancer after 25 years of marriage and her son now calls me dad and calls Marygrace his sister. I got to see him graduate high school and college and now he’s married and the father of my grandson.  Life is good. God is good. 

That’s my life in a nutshell. Can’t wait to start rowing! My father was in the army, but what the heck…. BEAT ARMY!
