Although I work in a technical field as an IT Director, my father has always been a full-time artist, so I'm lucky enough to have an artistic side as well.

I credit my parents (mother from Dublin, Ireland. Dad from Michigan, US) for teaching me to accept what life has to offer and to thank God for every day's experiences. I've been described as mellow, loving, nurturing, and occasionally an Idiot :)

I like organic farming so I work and feed off an organic farm on weekends, yet I love pizza and exotic beer. I'm on my fourth year of growing my own vegetables at home but still haven't mastered it. Recently I have been painting portraits and landscapes taking lessons from my Father on the occasional visit with him in Arizona. Cooking is fun. Volunteering is satisfying. I currently volunteer IT work at the National Elephant Center.
