I've known a lot of you guys for a while, but I'm new to this web site. So, here is some random biographical information . . .
Grew up in Maryland in Ocean Pines, went to Stephen Decatur High School. Boy it was great growing up at the beach!
Went off to get a BS in biology at Wake Forest U. then off to Florida State U. for a doctorate. Decided I like teaching a lot better than doing research. In 2002 I got a job teaching biology at Prince George's Community College. I've been very happy working there. Became the chair of the department this past July. I'm managing 15 full-time faculty and 50 adjunct faculty with about 2,000 students in any given semester. My hair should be turning from salt-and-pepper to complete white soon!
Married my wife, Susan Mende, in August '97. She's a veterinarian specializing in horses. Our one and only child, Nicolas, was born on 9/10/98. Short honeymoon! In '04 we bought a piece of land in Southern AA County, built a house and barn, and moved in June '05.
Got my first Porsche (an '86 944 with 113K miles) in '97. Joined PCA in '99. Attended my first autocross in fall '01. Dirk Dekker was my first instructor. Sold the car in '07 with 250K miles on it and still running good.
Bought the Boxster in '04 from my dentist. I've won about a half-dozen concours events with the car, including two Parades. I've autocrossed it quite a bit, and I've had it on the track a few times with Summit Point's FATT program. At 6'4" it appears I'd have issues running on the track with PCA, but I've been investigating those options.
See y'all around.
